Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment granted on 16 January 2013 in HC 13997/12, which ordered his eviction from leased premises and payment of arrears. The judgment arose from a lease dispute where the applicant failed to enter an appearance to defend, allegedly because he never received the summons served on one Nickson Jackson described as a caretaker.
