CHARLES KASANDIKO vs Mpuya P

CHARLES KASANDIKO vs Mpuya P

The preliminary objection was upheld because the application sought relief that was not available after dismissal for being time-barred; the only remedy was appeal, not an application for extension of time to set aside the ex-parte order. The preliminary objection raised a pure point of law.
