# RULING OF COURT

We have considered the submissions of the parties in this appealwith regard to the state of the Record of Appeal in this matter.

We find that in the interests of Justice that a complete Record of Appealshould be put together before we hear the appeal. lt is also clear in our minds that we cannot rely on the submission filed by some of the parties now on Court Record when the Record of Appeal is incomplete.

Taking all this into account this court now directs and orders the parties as follows;

- 1. That the parties be summoned by the Registrar of this court to review the current Record of Appeal now on file and work and co-operate together to ensure that a complete Record of Appeal is constituted ready for hearing. This should be done not later than 13th October 2023. - 2. That this matter be fixed for mention before this court on the 19th October 2013 at 9:30am for court to be updated as to the Record. lf the Record is found to be complete then the court shall give a new schedule for parties to file fresh written submissions.

O We so order.
