The applicant seeks to
move the Court to strike out the notice of appeal against the decision of the
High Court because of the Respondents’ failure to take some essential steps to
institute an appeal within the prescribed time. The application is accompanied
by the affidavit sworn by the applicant. The application is confronted
by preliminary points of objection that the application is bad in law and
incurably defective for being supported by a defective affidavit which bears a
defective verification clause.
