He went on to show the court the Affidavit of Service filed in court today which confirms that indeed the Respondent/Defendant was served with the application and pleadings in this case. 3. The Respondent has neither entered appearance nor filed any response. It has not even attended court through its representatives or Counsel.

I have perused the record and confirm the application dated 2nd June, 2021 was certified urgent and served upon the Respondent/Defendant on 8th June, 2021 for interparties hearing today.
