Facts of the Case

Background

The matter was remitted from the Supreme Court to determine a specific issue regarding payment of damages. The Applicant failed to register its electronic address with the Registrar for IECMS purposes and was not notified of the hearing date. The Court proceeded under Rule 37(b) to hear the matter on the merits in the Applicant's absence and made an order. The Applicant now seeks rescission, arguing lack of notification and disputing the exchange rate used for conversion.
