The applicants brought a motion to add Cindy Ravary as a defendant and to amend their Statement of Claim.

The court granted the motion, allowing the addition of Ms. Ravary and the proposed amendments, with the exception of the allegation of conspiracy.

The court found that Ms. Ravary had not demonstrated prejudice and that the proposed causes of action were prima facie meritorious.

The moving party sought to be added as an intervenor in an appeal before the Divisional Court.

The responding party opposed the intervention and filed a motion to set guidelines around the participation.

The court found that the moving party met the requirements of Rule 13.01(a) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, as he had an interest in the subject matter, could be adversely affected by a judgment, and his intervention would not unduly delay or prejudice the proceedings.

The motion to intervene was granted, and costs were awarded to the moving party.

The applicant, Andrew Pierre Makoundi, opposed William N. Fuhgeh's request to be added as an intervenor in an appeal, and filed a cross-motion to set guidelines for Fuhgeh's participation.

The court found that Makoundi had not provided formal consent for Fuhgeh's intervention since the appeal was filed.

The court granted Fuhgeh's request to be added as an intervenor, determining that Fuhgeh met the requirements of Rule 13.01(a) and (b) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, having a clear interest in the subject matter and potentially being adversely affected by a judgment.

The court also concluded that Makoundi failed to demonstrate that the intervention would cause undue delay or prejudice.

Costs for the motion were awarded to Fuhgeh against Makoundi.

The accused, Challa Daoud, sought a bail review following his detention by a Justice of the Peace for 10 firearm-related offences and multiple breaches of prior bail conditions.

The application was based on a purported material change in circumstances, specifically a revised bail plan with two new sureties and increased bond amounts.

The court found no material change in circumstances, noting that merely reshuffling sureties or increasing bond amounts does not suffice.

The court upheld the Justice of the Peace's decision to detain the accused on secondary and tertiary grounds, citing a substantial likelihood of reoffending due to a history of 32 convictions for breaching court orders, serious addiction issues, and the gravity of the firearms offences.
