Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought to correct a 2017 judgment that had cited "Ministry of Mines and Mining Development N.O." instead of "Minister of Mines and Mining Development N.O." The applicant claimed this was a common mistake correctable under Rule 449, while the first respondent opposed, arguing it was an attempt to substitute a non-existent party with a new one.
