Holding

The applicants' application fails and is dismissed with costs.

Facts

Sayani Investments Limited was the registered owner of three properties since the late 1950s. The applicants, Keibukwo Investments Limited and Sandhani Limited, sought to consolidate or amalgamate these properties into one parcel. The Environment and Land Court (S. Okongo, J.) quashed the applicants' Deed Plan No. 356256.

Issues

  1. Whether the ELC had jurisdiction to hear the judicial review proceedings.
  2. Whether the impugned judgment is a positive or negative order capable of being stayed.
  3. Whether the applicants' appeal is frivolous.
  4. Whether the orders sought are nugatory.

Reasoning

The Court finds the applicants' appeal not frivolous and arguable. The impugned judgment is not a negative order and the orders sought are nugatory.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
