Facts of the Case

Background

Applicant Doreen Vundla seeks leave to file a supplementary opposing affidavit in an application for leave to execute pending appeal. The application arises from a summary judgment obtained by respondent Netsayi Magunda for USD 15,750. The applicant claims crucial information was omitted from her opposing affidavit due to her principal legal practitioner's illness and temporary counsel's lack of background knowledge.
