Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought to commit respondents for contempt of court for failing to comply with a court order dated 13 February 2008 that had set aside the first respondent's decision to suspend the applicants' licences. The respondents argued they had filed an application to rescind the default judgment, which they claimed suspended the operation of the order.
