18.Secondly, that he was irregularly impleaded without leave of Court
and contrary to the requirement of pleadings that amendments must be
highlighted in distinct colour appended to the original pleading.
19.Thirdly, the 2nd Respondent also firmly maintains that his conduct has
been consistent with the requirements of his office and that he has
discharged his obligations in accordance with the Treaty and, therefore,

against him and consequently prays that the Reference be dismissed with
costs.
