Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant's property was attached to enforce an arbitral award for wrongful dismissal. The arbitrator made a calculation error, awarding US$38,875.00 instead of US$27,045.00, which the first respondent admitted. The applicant's former lawyers failed to file heads of argument, causing the dismissal of their appeal, and also failed to attend the quantification proceedings or seek rescission. The applicant now seeks a stay of execution pending an application for rescission of the default judgment.
