Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, Kadoma City Council, brought an application for rescission of a default judgment that had been granted against it. The default occurred when the applicant's legal representatives failed to attend court on the scheduled hearing date due to incorrect diary entries. The underlying dispute concerned a 40% salary increment awarded to council workers by an arbitrator.
