Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants sought rescission of a judgment granted under HC 2167/19 which set aside earlier court orders relating to Riverside Estates land. The original judgment was erroneously granted against a deceased person (Duncan Kona) and the second respondent was not served, rendering the order a nullity.
