Holding
The application fails to specify acts of contempt committed by the Buruburu OCPD.
Facts
The ex-parte applicants filed a cause on December 16, 2015, seeking to prohibit further action with a view to implementing the trial court's decision. The applicants had previously removed soil from the entrance and constructed a wall around the suit premises, which the trial court had ordered to be done.
Issues
- Contempt of court
- Violation of court orders
Reasoning
The court found that the ex-parte applicants had not committed any acts of contempt against the court since the interested parties had not carried out any works at the suit premises which could amount to contempt.
Outcome
Application dismissed
