Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought rescission of two default judgments granted against them in 2017 for failure to file pleas. They claimed the debt had been transferred to ZAMCO and believed litigation was unnecessary. The court found they were not in wilful default but lacked bona fide defence prospects.
