Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment granted against it on 22 September 2014 for US$17,255.41. The applicant claimed it only discovered the summons on 22 July 2014 in a drawer used by students on attachment, and that service was effected through an inappropriate person. The respondent opposed, arguing the applicant was in willful default and had no reasonable explanation for its failure to defend.
