Holding

The court held that the Defendant's application was not a fresh suit but an application within an existing suit, thus Order 3 Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules were not applicable.

Facts

The Defendant/Applicant filed a notice of motion on 30th May 2017 seeking various orders. The Plaintiff filed a notice of preliminary objection on 10th July 2017. The court granted some prayers and allowed interested parties to be joined.

Issues

  1. Applicability of Order 3 Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules
  2. Nature of the Defendant's application

Reasoning

Outcome

The court dismissed the Defendant's application.
