attorney general of uganda v media legal defence initiative and others consolidated applications 4 of 2018 consolidated applications 6 of 2018 2019 eacj 44 28 may

The applicant failed to demonstrate 'sufficient reason' for the extension of time as required by Rule 4. The explanation of a single error by counsel was inadequate given the persistent pattern of procedural non-compliance and lack of promptitude. The interests of justice require the main reference to proceed without further delay, and the benefit of amicus curiae is for the court, not the parties. The application for extension of time is dismissed.
