Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for late filing of heads of argument in a rescission of default judgment application. The delay occurred when the applicant's legal practitioners investigated whether they were properly authorized to represent the applicant after the respondent challenged their authority, following a change in legal representation from trade union representative to Macheyo Law Chambers and then to current legal practitioners.
