Procedural Posture

Land Appeal / Judgment

Legal Issues

1 Whether failure to attach drawn order and ruling to amended memorandum of appeal renders appeal incompetent
2 Whether MHOLA has capacity to represent male clients as a legal aid provider
3 Whether the preliminary objection raised was a pure point of law

Ratio Decidendi

The preliminary objection regarding failure to attach drawn order and ruling to the amended memorandum of appeal was not a pure point of law, as its determination required evidence; the requirement to attach drawn order applies to original memorandum, not amended memorandum filed by court order; MHOLA's capacity to represent men is not restricted by its constitution due to statutory prohibition of discrimination; the tribunal erred in striking out the application based on lack of documentary proof of MHOLA's capacity.

Court Disposition

appeal allowed

Orders

Ruling and order of tribunal dated 4th January, 2022 quashed and set aside
Record remitted to tribunal for hearing of application on merit
