Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment obtained by his mother for revocation of a donation of a family home. The applicant claimed he was not properly served as he had moved from the family address, while the respondent argued service was valid and that the donation could be revoked due to the applicant's ingratitude by seeking to evict her.
