Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant acquired a property in New Msasa Park in 2014, while the first respondent claims to have acquired the same property in 2015. The first respondent instituted eviction proceedings at the magistrates court, obtaining a default judgment against the applicant. The applicant only became aware of this judgment on 17 December 2021 upon being served with a notice of eviction and subsequently filed this urgent application for a stay of execution pending his application for rescission of judgment.
