The applicant sought rescission of a judgment that had dismissed her application for joinder for want of prosecution. The joinder application had been filed on 9 June 2016, opposed on 22 June 2016, but the applicant failed to file an answering affidavit or set the matter down for hearing within the prescribed time, leading to its dismissal on 20 October 2016.
