Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant and respondent are joint owners of a property. A valuation was obtained, but the respondent's legal practitioners queried it without informing the applicant, leading to a reduced valuation. The applicant accepted payment based on the reduced valuation but later contested the transfer, claiming fraudulent non-disclosure. Her appeal was struck off for being prolix. She now applies for condonation to file a new appeal.
