The trial magistrate failed to ascertain mutual agreement and acted with material irregularity by approving an ambiguous and unenforceable consent order. The subsequent interpretive ruling of 25th January, 2024 was also irregular, as the magistrate, being functus officio, lacked jurisdiction to clarify or vary the original order except for clerical corrections under the slip rule, which was…

The Applicants' reliance on the lack of objection from the 2nd Respondent and alleged admissions by the 1st Respondent did not meet the threshold for setting aside the consent temporary injunction.

The alleged pending application for review before the Court of Appeal did not operate as a stay of execution, and the applicant had already sought and been denied a stay by the Court of Appeal. The taxation of costs and subsequent execution were conducted in accordance with due process, including service of notice to show cause. The applicant had consented to all items in the bill of costs except instruction fees, and the consent was properly endorsed.…
