EPIC QUOTE: OTOKI V ALAKIJA




THE NEED FOR COUNSEL TO BE METICULOUS IN PREPARING LEGAL DOCUMENT

HIS LORDSHIP  ''PER DANJUMA, J.C.A 

      '' Counsel preparing legal document for filling in our court should appreciate that a solicitor work is a serious business. They ought to ensure that they are meticulous and certain, so as to avoid mistakes that may not be viewed with understanding but which would rather compound the disdain, scorn and sometimes unwarranted criticism been heaped on the legal practice and the courts now.
    These are days of meticulous scrutiny such that uncommon and unexpected description of a party who is an APPELLANT herein being described as APPLICANT may provide cheap and handy, justification and anchor for the misgivings usually expressed. Indeed, it may justifiably be seen as an element of signpost of recklessness and want of diligence on the part of a counsel''
