Original, Civil ,appeal No.113 of 1969

Order:
[1] This is an appeal against the Order for costs of the Chief Magistrate at
Mbale on 9th September, 1970, in an appeal in which he ordered a retrial of
the suit before a magistrate grade II and costs of the appeal, amounting to
shs.150/-, to be costs in the cause.
[2] The appellant claimed that since the appeal was allowed she should have
been given her costs. Neither party appeared in Court. This appeal has now
been placed six times before this Court and each hearing was fixed by the
Court and not at the request of the appellant who has shown no interest at
all in the appeal nor has she appeared in Court on any occasion since filing
the appeal in October, 1970, six and a half years ago.
[3] This may be because it is an appeal over a trivial sum of money. In any
event I can so no good reason for prolonging the matter. I also note that
the first respondent died several years ago. Accordingly this appeal is
dismissed for lack of prosecution under Order 39 Rule 31 C.P.R. |
