</div>COUNSEL FOR
PLAINTIFF<o:p></o:p>We have filed an application humbly praying the Honourable
court to enter summary judgment against the Defendants herein for the reliefs
endorsed on Plaintiff’s Writ of Summons as accompanied by the Statement of
Claim.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>My lady, we move accordingly in terms of the motion
paper, the supporting affidavit and the copious exhibits in corroboration of
the Plaintiff’s case for summary judgment against the Defendants.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>My lady, we rely entirely on the processes as filed by
Plaintiff but wish to add that we note the Defendants’ affidavit in opposition
to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment but we take the view that same does
not answer at all the case of Plaintiff for summary judgment before the
court.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>My lady, we take that view because the only issue that
can be observed from Defendants’ opposition is the unfounded allegation that
the Plaintiff has not exhausted the steps precedent to coming before this court
for relief.&nbsp; However, that is answered by
a demand notice which was served on Defendants with further notice to the
Defendants that that was the last time and final remedial step before Plaintiff
engages the court, but Defendants ignored that notice.&nbsp; We pray accordingly.<o:p></o:p>COUNSEL FOR
DEFENDANTS<o:p></o:p>We rely on the affidavit filed to the present
application and the proposed defence indicating that we have a defence to the
present action which raises triable issues.&nbsp;
Hence the application should be refused by her ladyship.<o:p></o:p>BY COURT:<o:p></o:p>
