Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought partial rescission of a default judgment that declared respondents had fully discharged their US$16,000 defamation damages obligation by paying ZWL$16,000. The applicant's legal practitioner had mistakenly consented to judgment believing it only related to setting aside a defective writ of execution, not the substantive declaration of full payment.
