Citation

SAPLOR AIDA SABIANO, the next friend of SAPLOR AGNES SABIANO v. NATASHA O. USHER
Court

District Court
Case number

DCEC1089/2014

The notice to act in person filed by the next friend was invalid because Order 80 rule 2(3) requires a next friend to be represented by solicitors and thus the next friend is not entitled to act in person under Order 62 rule 4; accordingly the notice was set aside and the solicitors on record remain so.

DIETER HEINZ STEIMECKE AND OTHERS v. ARMIDALE LTD. AND OTHERS

Citation

DIETER HEINZ STEIMECKE AND OTHERS v. ARMIDALE LTD. AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV80/1999

The Court held that none of the four grounds advanced justified departing from the ordinary rule under Order 62 rule 4 and therefore added the words "in any event" to the order nisi to clarify that interlocutory costs are to be paid in any event only where appropriate wording is required, but declined to order an immediate departure from the usual practice on the facts before it.
