GBADEGBE JSC read the judgment in the court as follows:
We have just this morning delivered judgment in civil appeal no J4/52/2014
which involves substantially the same parties and raises for our
determination the same points of law as confronts us in this case. We think
that we are in principle bound by the reasons which lead us to that
decision. Accordingly, we apply the decision in that matter to the appeal
herein.
The result is that we allow the instant appeal and set aside the judgment of
the Court of Appeal and in place thereof substitute an order granting the
appellant a leave to enter appearance to the action herein out of time and
for the matter to be thereafter dealt with in accordance of law.
