Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a farming co-operative, failed to file opposing papers against confirmation of a provisional order within the prescribed time, resulting in an automatic bar. The applicant's legal practitioner mistakenly believed that the opposing papers filed against the granting of the interim order could stand as opposing papers against confirmation.
