Facts
The National Land Commission (NLC) sought to be joined in a land dispute case against Fayard Abdulrazak Shikh and others, seeking to be allowed to file a defence out of time and to be granted leave to participate in the proceedings.
Issues
- Whether the National Land Commission should be allowed to be joined in the suit and to file a defence out of time.
- Whether the National Land Commission's failure to file a defence within the prescribed time is an abuse of the court process.
Reasoning
The National Land Commission was enjoined in the suit in 2013 and was served with the order to file pleadings by 22nd October 2013. The Applicant failed to comply with the order and cannot now seek to be joined in the proceedings.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
