Facts

The applicant filed Civil Suit No. 3132 of 2011 at the Chief Magistrate's Court of Mengo which was dismissed with costs. She appealed in Civil Appeal No. 9 of 2013, which was also dismissed with costs. The applicant then filed an application for review (H.C. Misc. Application No. 009 of 2017) which was heard and dismissed with costs. She thereafter filed the present application (Misc. Application No. 675 of 2017) seeking to review the order that dismissed her previous review application. The applicant contended that her suit was not heard, that there was gross abuse of court process, and that she would suffer irreparable damage if the application was not granted.
