The Respondent filed a notice of preliminary objection to the Appeal arguing that the Notice of Appeal and the Memorandum of Appeal have been drawn and lodged in Court by an unqualified person contrary to sections 2, 39 (1) (a), (b) and (c) and 41 (1) of the Advocates Act. It also stated that that the Notice of Appeal and the Memorandum of Appeal do not mention the names, initials, surnames and nationality of the partners in the firm contrary to the (sic) section 23 of the Business Names (Registration) Act [Cap 213 R.E. 2002]. It also stated that the Judgment and Decree in the Memorandum of Appeal had clerical mistakes and was therefore defective.
