Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for filing a review application 13 months out of time, claiming he only discovered the respondents' involvement in administering the estate of his late father-in-law after receiving an eviction notice. The estate had been wound up and property sold to a third party. The applicant claimed a will existed bequeathing him property, but had never lodged it with the Master of the High Court.
