Background
The applicant sought rescission of a judgment granted against it on 30 January 2014, claiming it resulted from a common error between parties regarding filing of Heads of Argument. The applicant had been granted leave to file Heads of Argument on 20 June 2013 but only filed them on 4 October 2013, after respondents had already made a Rule 19 application.
