Facts of the Case
Background
The employer failed to file a response to an employee's review application timeously, resulting in a default judgment. The employer's subsequent rescission application was struck off for non-compliance with court rules as it was not filed on the prescribed LC1 Form. The employer then applied for condonation to file the rescission application out of time.
