The applicant lodged before the Court, Civil Appeal No. 106
of 2016 which involved the same parties. Subsequently the Respondent lodged a
notice of preliminary objection that the appeal was time barred. Upon being
served with the notice of preliminary objection, the applicant lodged Civil
Application No. 248 of 2016 seeking for extension of time to file an appeal.
That application was strongly objected by the Respondent. The Respondent
averred that the applicant’s application for extension of time aimed to
pre-empty the pending preliminary objection that was lodged on 12th
August, 2016 seeking to strike out Civil Appeal No. 106 of 2016 for being time
barred.
