Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Ruling on Application for Interim Stay and Review

  2. 2 Whether there is any change in circumstances to justify review of the orders made on 10th December 2024.

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that there was no material change in circumstances between the dismissal of the previous application on 10th December 2024 and the filing of the new application on 11th December 2024.

The court held that the repeated filing of similar applications without new grounds did not justify the grant of further interim ex parte orders or review. The proper course was for the appellants to serve their current application on the respondent for inter partes hearing alongside other pending applications, as previously...

Court Disposition

Application for interim ex parte stay and review declined; directions issued for service and inter partes hearing.

Orders

  • The appellants shall serve their current application dated 11th December 2024 upon the respondent.
  • The application to be processed for hearing alongside other pending applications as previously directed.
