At the hearing of the Application inter partes, the Applicant was represented by Mr. Donald Deya, while the First Respondent was represented by Mr. Nestor Kayobera. The Second and Third Respondents did not make any appearances, the latter reportedly having instructed Mr. Kayobera that he would abide by the Court’s decision in the Application. Upon hearing the parties that were represented at the hearing hereof, this Court did deliver a summary Ruling dismissing the Application and reserved reasons therefor to be given on notice to the Parties.
