Holding
The High Court dismissed a miscellaneous application for want of prosecution where the applicant failed to upload any Notice of Motion or Chamber Summons on ECCMIS after filing. The court exercised its inherent powers under the Judicature Act and Civil Procedure Act to prevent abuse of process and curtail delays.
Outcome
Application dismissed for want of prosecution
Facts
The applicant filed Miscellaneous Application No. 1775 of 2025 on 19th August 2025. However, no documents in the form of either a Notice of Motion or Chamber Summons were uploaded on the Electronic Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS). The court found it impossible to establish what the application was about or whether the applicant intended to pursue it to completion. The applicant's failure to upload the requisite pleadings indicated she had not taken necessary steps to prosecute the application.
