Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants sought an urgent order to register a caveat on an immovable property and to have a rescission application set down urgently. This followed a default judgment obtained against them by the first respondent. The court found the applicants had been dilatory in their conduct and the application was a disguised attempt to stay execution.
