Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought rescission of a default judgment granted on 1 February 2023 in their absence. Their legal practitioner, Mr Machingauta, admitted he misdiarized the set-down date as 2 February instead of 1 February. He became aware of the judgment on 2 February 2023 but only filed the rescission application on 12 June 2023, more than three months outside the one-month timeline prescribed by r 27(1).
