Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent sued the applicant for payment of US$16,059-75 for work done. The applicant failed to attend pre-trial conference and comply with court directions, resulting in default judgment. The applicant then sought rescission of the judgment, claiming it had been suing the wrong party and that its legal practitioner was engaged in another urgent matter.
