Ogbonna v Programmed Integrated Workforce Ltd [No 2]

The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal. The Court found that the original writ of summons was defective, disclosing no reasonable cause of action. The Court also found that any amendment to the writ would constitute a new cause of action, which was statute-barred. The Court held that the appellant's action should be dismissed because no amendment to the writ was available. The Court also held that the primary judge was correct to allow the respondents' application to extend the time for filing the strike-out application and to strike out the indorsement on the writ. The Court found that the appellant's grounds of appeal had no merit. Finally, the Court held that leave to appeal was required and refused the appellant leave to appeal.
