IN THE SUPREME COURT OF ZAMBIA HOLDEN AT LUSAKA (Civil Jurisdiction) APPEAL NO. 22 OF 1999 BETWEEN STANLEY JERE APPLICANT AND UNITED CHURCH OF ZAMBIA RESPONDENT (St. Paul’s Consistory) Coram: Bweupe, DCJ; Chaila, Chibesakunda, JJS 21st September, 1999 For the Applicant : In person For the Respondent: Nil Chaila, JS delivered the judgment of the court. JUDGMENT This application arises out of the ruling made by a single Judge dismissing the applicant’s application which was to the effect that he wanted the court to make an Order to the United Church of Zambia to supply the applicant with the address of service so that he could serve Record of Appeal and other documents on which he relied. The single Judge dismissed the application and regarded it as frivolous and without merit. The learned single Judge went on to say that the applicant knew the people on whom to serve the papers. - J2 - We have read the record and we have considered the submissions of the applicant. We entirely agree with the conclusion of the single Judge that the applicant knows who to serve the documents with and that the application is frivolous. We entirely agree with him that the application has no merit at all. The application is therefore dismissed. We make no order as to costs. B. K. BWEUPE DEPUTY CHIEF JUSTICE M. S.
