Facts of the Case
Background
Applicant sought rescission of a default judgment granted on 6 June 2018, contending it was erroneously granted without consideration of its opposing papers filed on 4 April 2018. First respondent had served application on wrong legal practitioners (Dube Manikai and Hwacha instead of Danziger and Partners), leading to confusion over proper service and filing deadlines.
