Judgment No. SC 69/15 14 Civil Appeal No. SC 9/14 I am not persuaded that the issue of the alleged lacuna in the law was a more important point for determination, than the other issues raised in this appeal. I find, in any case, that even though the appellant was successful on the ground relating to the court a quo’s jurisdiction to hear the matter on the merits, he would still have had to confront the hurdle posed by his failure to cite all the necessary parties to the dispute. Accordingly, I see no reason for departing from the general rule that costs follow the cause. In the result it is ordered as follows; The appeal be and is hereby dismissed with costs. ZIYAMBI JA: I agree GUVAVA JA: I agree Messrs Maunga, Maanda & Associates, appellant’s Legal Practitioners Nyika, Kanengoni & Partners, 1st, 2nd & 3rd appellants’ legal practitioners Mandizha & Company, 4th respondent’s legal practitioners
