Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant employee sought rescission of a default judgment granted against him on 4 October 2022 in a labour dispute. He had filed a review application challenging his dismissal but failed to attend court on the set down date despite service on his union representatives. He claimed he was unaware of the set down date as he had notified the court of his change of address.
