#### **BEFORE**

#### **PANELISTS**

- 1. Mr. Bwire John Abraham - 2. Mr. Mavunwa Edison Han - 3. Ms. Julian Nyachwo

#### **RULING**

This is a ruling arising from an application bychamber summons seeking a representative order under **Article 126 (2) (e), Section 33 of the Judicature Act, Section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act and Order 1 r 188 of the Civil Procedure Rules**. It is supported by two affidavits sworn by the applicants.

On perusal of the application and both the affidavits in support and in opposition, it is clear that the application arose from a notice to show cause why execution should not issue before the Registrar. The Court record does not show whether the Registrar handled the application for a notice to show

cause and if she did what her decision was. It seems to us that when the matter went to the registrar for execution, somehow it transpired that there was need for this application. But we do not think that without proceedings before the Registrar arising from the notice to show cause, this court would entertain this application. It is the ruling of the registrar on a notice to show cause that would determine the next course of action of any of the parties.

Accordingly, the file is remitted back to the registrar to entertain anotice to show cause why execution should not issue.
