Succession Cause / Ruling on Summons for Revocation of Grant

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the summons for revocation of grant can be determined in the absence of a legible copy of the application and supporting affidavit.

Ratio Decidendi

The court declined to determine the summons for revocation of grant because the copy on record, including the supporting affidavit and annexures, was illegible. The judge directed the applicant to provide a clear copy and urged both parties to review the court file to ensure all necessary documents are legible and, if not, to substitute them with clearer copies. The decision was based on the necessity for clear and accessible documentation to enable the court to adjudicate fairly and effectively.

Court Disposition

No determination on merits; applicant directed to provide clear copy of summons.

Orders

  • Applicant to provide a clear copy of the summons for revocation of grant.
  • Both parties to review the court file and substitute any illegible filings with clearer copies.
