The plaintiffs were allowed to file an amended plaint in which they impleaded the consolidated holding corporation as a defendant on 27th November and plaintiffs filed the amended plaint on 8th February 2010. The amended plaint does not contain a paragraph pleading the facts showing that this Court has jurisdiction. The defendant filed a written statement of defence to the amended plaint and raised three preliminary objections on points of law to the effect that the plaint does not disclose facts constituting a cause of action against the defendant and when it arose as required by Order VII rule 1(e) of the Civil Procedure Code [Cap 33 R.E. 2002] and the suit is not maintainable in the High Court since it falls within the competency of a lower court/Tribunal’s pecuniary jurisdiction. In addition, the plaint does not contain facts showing that the Court has jurisdiction as required by Order VII rule 1(f) of the Civil Procedure Code [Cap 33 R.E. 2002] and the amended plaint is not properly before the Honourable Court for having been filed after expiration of a statutory time limit for effecting the Court’s order to amend the plaint.
