Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought rescission of a summary judgment granted in its absence despite having filed a notice of opposition. The notice of opposition was filed under the wrong case number (HC 4180/19 instead of HC 11563/18), leading to the summary judgment being granted on the unopposed roll.
