Holding

Outcome

Facts
The applicant Edward Ssenteza filed Miscellaneous Application No. 1662 of 2024 arising from Civil Suit No. 108 of 2024. The civil suit had been dismissed on 25 June 2024, but a counterclaim remained pending. The applicant's former advocates, Jambo & Co. Advocates, filed the miscellaneous application and later wrote requesting a hearing date dated 1 April 2025. However, those advocates had withdrawn from representing the applicant. When the matter came before court, the applicant, now represented by Droit Advocates, clarified that the application was filed by his former advocates and was abandoned when they withdrew. He distanced himself from both the application and the letter requesting a hearing date.
