Aburek & 3 Ors v Kanabar
Aburek & 3 Ors v Kanabar [2017] UGHCLD 361 (6 November 2017)
The court found that neither the applicants nor their counsel provided sufficient evidence of illness to justify their non-attendance. Both failed to attend court and did not substantiate their claims beyond bare affidavits. The court held that the applicants and their counsel were guilty of dilatory conduct and did not approach the court with clean hands. As a result, there was no sufficient cause to set aside the dismissal or reinstate the suit. The application was therefore dismissed with costs.
