R U L I N G
The applicant filed this Notice of Motion seeking orders for Review of Court Order made on 22/4/2005. The order is extracted and served upon the Respondents. The Notice of Motion is grounded on the new evidence which shows that the property in dispute is not yet transferred to the Plaintiff. The applicant says that the order is extracted as required under Order 44 CPC and that the applicant filed notice of appeal but not the Memorandum of Appeal as per Court of Appeal rules and that the applicant has abandoned the intended appeal. And therefore Preliminary Objection should be dismissed.
I find that the order was extracted and it is in file. I also find that although Notice of Appeal was filed no appeal has been filed in accordance with the Court of Appeal rules and even the period for filing such an appeal has expired . In the circumstances I do not uphold objections raised by both Respondents and the same are dismissed. Application of Notice of Motion to proceed to hearing.
Dated this 15th July 2005.
