Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment entered on 12 September 2024, claiming the court process was served at the wrong address (John Mugogo Attorneys) who were not her appointed agents, rather than her correct address at Harare Polytechnic staff cottages. The first respondent opposed, arguing the application was brought under the wrong rule and that John Mugogo Attorneys had been acting for the applicant.
