Background
The applicant company entered into a fuel deal with the respondent. After a fallout, the respondent obtained a default judgment on 15 April 2021 based on an acknowledgment of debt. The applicant's goods were attached and sold in execution. Six months later, following a second attachment for the remaining balance, the applicant sought condonation for late filing of a rescission application and rescission of the default judgment.
