The court held that the applicant did not demonstrate any error apparent on the face of the record and was instead asking the court to reach a different conclusion from the one already made. That is an appeal issue, not a review issue, so the application failed the legal threshold for review.

Procedural Posture

Civil Suit; Garnishee Execution; Application for Review / Ruling on Application for Review of the Ruling Delivered on 20 March 2025

  1. 1 Whether the applicant met the threshold for review under section 80 of the Civil Procedure Act and Order 45 of the Civil Procedure Rules

Ratio Decidendi

The court held that the applicant did not demonstrate any error apparent on the face of the record and was instead asking the court to reach a different conclusion from the one already made. That is an appeal issue, not a review issue, so the application failed the legal threshold for review.
