Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a gold mining company, failed to appear at a pre-trial conference in HC 9292/12, resulting in default judgment for $893,320 being granted against it. The applicant seeks a stay of execution pending its rescission application, claiming non-appearance was due to its lawyer's failure to notify it of the set-down date.
