Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant failed to enter appearance to defend a claim for arrear rentals, resulting in a default judgment. His subsequent applications for rescission of judgment and stay of execution were dismissed. He then filed an application for unjust enrichment seeking reimbursement of the amount paid under the default judgment, which was also dismissed by the magistrate.
