Forefront Industrial Solutions Limited v Benard Makungu and Ors (Appeal No. 251 of 2024) [2025] ZMCA 135 (18 November 2025)
The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to prove acceptance of the offer to purchase, did not establish any loss or damage, and the lower court's findings were supported by evidence and correct application of the law. The agency relationship finding was academic and did not affect the outcome. Costs were properly awarded to the respondents as the appellant was not successful in the substantive reliefs claimed.

Jayesh Shah v Attorney General (2025/CCZ/0012) [2025] ZMCC 26 (18 November 2025)
The Constitutional Court held that the petition did not raise any constitutional question within the meaning of Article 128(1) of the Constitution, but was instead a disguised appeal against the Court of Appeal's ruling. The proper recourse for the petitioner was to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Court further found that the petition amounted to an abuse of court process and multiplicity of actions, as the petitioner had already litigated similar issues elsewhere.

Khembule Commodities Limited and Anor Nalikwanda Agro Processing Limited (Appeal No. 273/2024) [2025] ZMCA 152 (18 November 2025)
The Court of Appeal held that the High Court erred in entering Judgment on Admission in default of pleadings, as there was no clear or unequivocal admission by the Appellants. The absence of a defence does not entitle the plaintiff to a Judgment on Admission but rather to a default judgment. The Judgment on Admission was improperly entered and should have been set aside.
