Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a former Purchasing Clerk dismissed for misconduct in March 2015, sought rescission of a default judgment that dismissed his review application for want of prosecution. He failed to file heads of argument due to alleged financial constraints, but the court found his explanation inadequate and his prospects of success not demonstrated.
