SACCO IFUMBA Y’UBUKIRE v. UWIMANA N’ABANDI
The applicant failed to demonstrate an extraordinary and compelling reason for non-attendance at the hearing, as the medical certificate was not timely submitted and was contradicted by evidence of the counsel's activity in other cases on the same day. The Commercial High Court was correct in refusing to revive the case. As the principal claim fails, ancillary claims for damages and costs are also dismissed.
