_________________ D E C I S I O N _________________ 1.I am in no doubt that the extension of time sought in the Originating Summons before the court is justified. 2.Both of the Respondents had stated in their Acknowledgment of Service that they did not intend to contest these proceedings. 3.The extension of time is necessitated by the General Adjournment put in place recently due to public health concern. 4.The evidence is that the intended s 168 H proceedings would have been issued in the absence of such adjournment. 5.I am satisfied that there are merits in the intended proceedings. The delay is relatively short and I see no relevant prejudice to the Respondents in granting the relief sought. 6.Save that the extension of time should be confined to 1 month, I grant an order in terms of the Originating Summons filed on 13 March 2020 pursuant to O 28, r 4(1).
