Facts of the Case

Background

The appellants were evicted from Pumula Farm in 2005 after a default judgment. In 2020, when execution was attempted, they applied for condonation to file late rescission of judgment, claiming the land had been compulsorily acquired by government. The court a quo dismissed the condonation application, finding the 15-year delay inordinate and unexplained.
