JUDGMENT
TWALA J
Introduction
[1] This is an application for leave to appeal launched by the applicants against the
whole of the judgment and order of this Court handed down electronically on 14
May 2025 dismissing the applicants’ review application with costs.
[2] In this judgment for the application for leave to appeal, I propose to refer to the
parties as they were referred to in the judgment to the main application. Further, it
is noteworthy that, for the sake of convenience, the Court directed that the
application for leave to appeal be determined on the papers without an oral hearing.

Judge or Judges concerned are of the opinion that the appeal would have a
reasonable prospect of success or where there is some other compelling reason why
the appeal shoul d be heard, including conflicting judgments on the matter under
consideration. (See section 17 (1)(a)(i) and (ii) of the Superior Courts Act, 10 of
2013).
[4] The grounds for the leave to appeal are succinctly stated in the notice of application
for leave to appeal and I do not intend to repeat them in this judgment. Furthermore,
I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to the counsels of the partie s
for the concise heads of argument and submissions made therein.
[5] I am satisfied that I have covered and considered all the issues raised in the
application for leave to appeal in my judgment. I am therefore not persuaded by the
