MWACOTRA RULING 1 1

MWACOTRA RULING 1 1

The Court is functus officio regarding the prayer for appointment of a Court broker, as the same relief was previously sought and denied in earlier proceedings between the same parties. The application is also barred by res judicata and issue estoppel. Additionally, the applicant's failure to file a counter affidavit constitutes admission of the respondents' compliance with the Court order, eliminating any factual dispute and rendering the application meritless.
