TypeLand CasePostureApplication to re-open case and amend plaintCoramE. OBAGA
The plaintiffs' application is dismissed with costs to the defendants.
Facts
The plaintiffs filed a notice of motion to re-open their case and amend the plaint, while the defendants opposed the application. The plaintiffs claimed that the defendants had not served their list of documents in time, and that they needed to file an amended defence and further witness statements.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiffs need to re-open their case
- Whether the plaintiffs should be allowed to amend their plaint
Reasoning
The court found that the plaintiffs' claims were not new and that the defendants had already obtained their titles before the plaintiffs were allocated the land. The court also found that allowing the plaintiffs' prayers would be prejudicial to the defendants.
Outcome
Application dismissed
Orders
- None of the plaintiffs' prayers can be allowed
