Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a housing cooperative, sought rescission of a default judgment that declared the first respondent had legitimately acquired three housing stands from Mupamombe Housing Project. The applicant contended it was not a party to the main proceedings, owns the disputed stands, and that no legal entity exists under the name Mupamombe Housing Project.
