First Instance Judgment
Verdict | In the final result, therefore, we find that the Application is misconceived, incompetent and improperly before this Court, and do hereby strike it out under Rules 1(2) and 47(1) of the Court's Rules. It is trite law that costs in any action follow the event unless the court, for good reason, decides otherwise. In the instant case, given that the present application is interim in nature, we are of the considered view that it is just that the costs abide the determination of Reference No. 17 of 2014. We so ordered. |
