Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, who were tenants of the first respondent, sought an urgent stay of execution of a default judgment entered against them on 25 July 2013. The judgment was based on a Deed of Settlement negotiated by the first respondent with the applicants' sub-tenants' legal representatives, which the applicants claimed they had not authorized. The applicants argued they would suffer irreparable harm if evicted before their rescission application could be heard.
