Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a legal practitioner, failed to set aside a default judgment issued against him in a defamation case within the prescribed one-month period. He instead pursued appeals to the Supreme Court, which were dismissed or withdrawn, before seeking condonation for late filing of rescission application three months after the default judgment.
