Holding
Both the application and preliminary objection have no merit and are dismissed with costs to the claimant respondents.
Facts
Claimants were ordered to file suit before Industrial Court within 14 days, but did not. Respondents filed suit after the deadline.
Issues
- Whether the lower court's orders to file suit within 14 days affect this court's jurisdiction.
- Whether non-payment of costs in a lower court is a bar to the parties filing this suit.
Reasoning
The court's jurisdiction is not dependent on the lower court's, and the lower court's orders to file suit within 14 days are null and void.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
