The intended Appellant in this matter, General Alliance Insurance Company
Limited, seeks leave to appeal out of time against the decision of the Assistant
Registrar dismissing their application to be discharged and exempted from the
assessment of costs proceedings. Their main argument on the intended appeal
which they consider to be in the interests of justice, is that the Appellant
having exhausted their monetary liability under the motor vehicle policy of
insurance with their insured client they should be discharged as a party in the
assessment of costs proceeding. The Appellant has filed an affidavit and
accompanying skeleton arguments in support of the application whereas the
Respondents have raised objections to the application by presenting an
affidavit in opposition and corresponding skeleton arguments.
