The convention provides for variation in the come after instances : in respect of an order or
judgment granted erroneously in the absence of an impress company ( as often happens ,
for exercise , with default judgments ) ; in respect of an ambiguity or patent error or
omission ; and in respectfulness of an edict or judgement granted as a final result of a
mistake common to the parties .default judgment may personify rescinded in the High
judicature in the following manner : in condition of the rough-cut constabulary in the
example of fraud ; justus error ; the find of new documents ; and default judgment ( if
sufficient cause is shown ) ; in terms of regulation 42 ( 1 ) ( just discussed ) , when there has
been an mistake of some variety ; and in terms of normal 31 ( 2 ) ( type B ) , in respect of
default judgment on unliquidated call in term of rule 31 ( 2 ) ( a ) .Default judicial decision
on neutralise title must be rescinded in terms either of the common law or of convention 42
( 1 ) .===== Magistrate 's courtyard ===== segment 36 of the Magistrate 's judicature Act
refers to the `` rescission '' of a judgment .The facial expression 'setting aside ' of a mind is ,
however , often encountered as a synonym and is well established in praxis .Rescission of a
sound judgement is in emergence not only in cases in which default option sound judgment
has been granted , but also in cases in which application is made for the rescission of a
succinct judgment , as well as in typesetter's case in which judgment has been granted in
the absence seizure of a suspect in terms of rule 60 ( 3 ) , where the suspect has not
supplied foster item requested of him .Section 36 is similar to High courtroom rule 42 ( 1 ) ,
providing that the court of law may , on application , rescind or diverge any judgment it has
granted in the absence of the person against whom it was granted ; any sound judgement it
has granted which was void ab initio or obtained by imposter or mistake common to the
political party ; and any judicial decision in deference of which no appeal lies .While it may
not do any of the above in the absence of an application from any someone affected by the
judgment , it may , mero motu , castigate patent wrongdoing in any discernment in respect
of which no charm is pending .If a complainant in whose favour a nonpayment judgment has
been granted has agreed in writing that the judgment be rescinded or varied , a judicature
must repeal or change such opinion on application by any person affected by it .It does not
matter , therefore , whether a default judgment has been obtained as a result of the failure
of the defendant to enter show to defend , or as a resultant of the failure of the defendant to
plead .regulation 49 was the subject of extensive amendment in 1997 .Earlier shell must be
used with precaution in the interpretation of the new rule .In sure important obedience , the
novel rule appears to revise the billet as set out in the previous instance .Apart from
applications for the recission of default judgments , the procedure by means of which a
company will make an application for the rescission or magnetic declination of a judgment
in the Magistrates ' lawcourt is set out in prescript 49 ( 7 ) , which requires that such coating
equal brought on card to all parties ; and supported by an affidavit or affidavits setting out
the grounds on which the applier seeks rescission or edition .If the rescission or variation is
sought on the primer that the judgment is annul AB origine , or was obtained by shammer
or mistake , rule 49 ( 8 ) provides that the application must make up served and filed within
one year after the applier first had noesis of such voidness , fraud or mistake .The most
common type of application for rescission , however , is an applications programme for
rescission of a default mind .In terms of rule 49 ( 1 ) , a political party seeking to rescind or
vary a default judgment has twenty motor hotel days , from the date on which the
assessment came to his knowledge , to suffice and file the application for recission .Rule 49 (
2 ) provides that an applicant is presumed to get had noesis of the default judgment ten
days after the escort on which it was granted , unless the applicant professor
otherwise .This sub-rule topographic point an onus on the applicant to rebut the effrontery
and to try out that he has brought the application within the twenty-day period .Notice of
the coating must be given to all parties to the transactions .The defendant is required to
shew right cause why the legal opinion should personify rescinded ; alternatively , the court
must be satisfied that there is good reason to do so .The court has a discretion in this
heed .The application may be made by any party , or any person affected thereby .The
applicant is not necessarily the defendant in nonpayment .It may be , for instance , that
there has been non-joinder .A person may seek to typeset aside the judicial decision
because he is materially affected by it .The convention appears to position down two
dissimilar but colligate grounds upon which a court may allot recission .The first is `` upon
salutary cause shown ; '' the second is `` if it is gratify that there is good reason to do so .
''====== in effect cause ====== '' Good cause '' has never been properly defined , but it
incorporates both an investigation into the beingness of a prima facie defence , and whether
or not the defendant was in wilful default option .In the cases on the previous pattern , ``
thoroughly grounds '' was held to include a fairish account for the default ; the existence of a
bona fide defense mechanism ; and evidence that the application is made bona fide .The
offset two of these prerequisite are set out in the new rule 49 ( 3 ) , which provides that the
lotion must equal supported by an affidavit setting out the reasons for the defendant 's
absence or nonpayment , and the grounds of the defendant 's defence to the call .It has been
argued that `` the previous guinea pig law still applies in wish to this sub-rule , since 'good
cause ' would only personify shown if the explanation was reasonable , and the defending
team bona fide . ''The essential of absence of willful default has become more
elusive .principle 49 ( 4 ) business deal with the situation in which a defendant wishes to
rescind the judgment when he does not wish to go with the proceedings : that is , when he is
prepared to make organisation to satisfy the judgment .It is in these portion that the new
sub-rule requires an applicant to show that he or she was not in wilful default and that the
judgment was satisfied , or arrangements were made to satisfy the judgment , within a
reasonable fourth dimension after it came to his or her knowledge .`` Does this mean , '' asks
Torquil Paterson , that it is only in these circumstances that the absence of wilful
nonpayment is a essential ?This subject appears still to follow moot .It is submitted that the
absence of wilful nonpayment applies to all diligence , and that it still remains office of
demonstrating `` in force cause . ''It is also submitted that in the luck of rule 49 ( 4 ) the onus
of demonstrating the absence of froward nonremittal will stay on the applier .With
attentiveness to the former rule , it was held that the encumbrance of demonstrating that
the applicant was in wilful default rested on the respondent : `` Whether this is still the case
appears to be moot . ''Generally , then , rescission may not represent granted if the
defendant is in willful default ; and can not shew a prima facie defence .This means that , to
show good movement , the defendant in his affidavit must explain the reasons for his
absence or nonpayment and picture the existence of a prima facie defense force as well as
fulfil the court that his default was not wilful .====== expert grounds ====== The second
possibility is that the applier may show that there is `` good reason '' to overturn the
judgment .
