I will therefore in this ruling restrict my self to the objection raised above. \par \par It is urged that there is no indication that the school was duly registered for it to enjoy any legal status. In the plaint it is averred that: \'93The first plaintiff is the body managing the school Bright Hill Academy.\'94 The status of this Bright Hill Academy is not given. It is not stated whether Bright Hill Academy is a public or Private School. What is clear is that it was still in its infancy and not yet registered by the time complained of. \par Not only that. Rule 15 of the \'93Education (Management Committee) Rules SI 116-5 reads as follows: \par \par }\pard \ql \li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0\pararsid14566271 {\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \'93Suits by or against a manage ment committee, the school or the trustees of a school, if any, shall be entered into, in the name of the members of the management committee\'94. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid14566271 {\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \par While it is }{\insrsid8748092 true that the Education Act Cap.}{\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 116 was repealed by Education Act 10/70, Section 45 (2) (a) reads as follows: \par \par {\listtext\pard\plain\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 (2)\tab}}\pard \ql \fi-720\li1080\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1080\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls2\adjustright\rin0\lin1080\itap0\pararsid14566271 { \insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 Not with standing the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, \par }\pard \ql \li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0\pararsid14566271 {\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \par {\listtext\pard\plain\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 (a)\tab}}\pard \ql \fi-720\li1800\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1800\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls2\ilvl1\adjustright\rin0\lin1800\itap0\pararsid14566271 { \insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 any statutory instrument made under the Act repealed by this Act and in force immediately before the commencement of this Act shall continue in force as if it has been made under this Act until it is revoked by another statutory instrument made under this Act\'94 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid14566271 {\insrsid15424863\charrsid14566271 \par I am not aware of nor have I been referred to another statutory instrument that revoked statutory instrument No. 1165-5.
