[1] The appeal concerns a claim which was initially commenced by the appellants against the first respondent by originating summons dated 30 March 2012 but was subsequently ordered by the learned trial Judge on 3 August 2012 to be converted to a writ of summons. On 17 August 2012 a statement of claim was filed which was nevertheless amended twice. In the meantime, the second respondent sought and obtained leave of the High COURT to be joined as a defendant to the appellant's claim. He filed a defence and counterclaim. After eight days of trial, the learned trial Judge dismissed the appellant's claim and allowed the second respondent's counterclaim. The appellants appealed to this COURT against the said decision.
