    Citation

    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC15990/2017

    Given M was the disponee of the disputed 2010 transfers and there is a real dispute about whether transfers were coincidental, necessary or premeditated, the court exercised its discretion under Order 15 r6 to join M as 2nd Respondent limited to ancillary reliefs because her presence is necessary or just and convenient to adjudicate the substantive issues; delay, age and overseas residence did not outweigh the need for joinder and did not constitute sufficient prejudice to refuse joinder.
