Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant employed the respondent as a computers teacher from September 2009 to March 2011. An arbitral award was granted on 7 April 2011 ordering the applicant to pay $3,186.35 in arrear salaries and benefits. The applicant appealed to the Labour Court but failed to attend court, resulting in a default judgment on 2 July 2012 confirming the arbitral award. The applicant now seeks rescission of that default judgment.
