Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for late filing of an application for leave to appeal and extension of time. The respondent raised preliminary points that the founding affidavit was defective due to a name discrepancy (Walter Mushure on face vs Wishmore Mushure on signature) and that the draft order was defective as it did not specify the exact nature of relief sought.
