Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, who had filed their plea timeously in 2012, were surprised by a default judgment obtained against them in 2015 on the basis that no plea had been filed. Upon being served with a notice of seizure of their movable property on 30 December 2015, they immediately filed an application for rescission of judgment and simultaneously sought a stay of execution pending the rescission application.
