Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, as Executor Dative of the late Edmore Tererai Chitiyo's estate, sought rescission of a default judgment that evicted occupants from immovable property that formed part of the estate. The property had been sold to both the deceased (in 2004) and later to the first respondent through judicial sale, creating a double sale situation. The eviction judgment was granted in the absence of the estate despite the first respondent's knowledge of the estate's claim.
