Facts of the Case

Background

FBC Bank Limited sought leave to appeal against a Labour Court decision that struck off its application for rescission of a default judgment. The bank had been cited incorrectly as FBC Building Society in the original Labour Court proceedings, and after multiple defaults, sought to rescind a default judgment but was struck off on preliminary points.
