Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants and respondents entered into a joint venture to operate a college. When differences arose, respondents issued summons for their share of partnership assets. Appellants failed to attend trial on 15 October 2018, resulting in default judgment dissolving the partnership and ordering payment of various amounts. Appellants applied for rescission one year later, claiming they only learned of the judgment then.
