Facts of the Case
Background
Applicants sought rescission of a default judgment. Respondents opposed the application arguing applicants were fugitives from justice with outstanding warrants of arrest and therefore lacked clean hands to approach the court. The court found applicants were indeed fugitives and could not be heard until they purged their contempt.
