The second inter- parte hearing took place on 5 March for the Judge to hear arguments for the stay of execution which was granted ex-parte as well as preliminary issues raised by the 2nd respondent. Note that Mwembeshi Resources (2nd Respondent) filed summons to set aside the appeal on procedural grounds stating that appellants 1-5 were not corporate bodies and as such cannot sue and be sued. This was the preliminary issue that needed to be decided today in addition to considering whether or not the stay should be up-held. However, the court was informed that the Attorney General (1st Respondent) only managed to submit an affidavit in opposition yesterday (4th) and as such the Appellants had no time to file an affidavit in response. Based on this, the lawyers for the second respondent (Mwembeshi Resources) suggested that all concern parties should make submissions before the court and the court would then make a decision. Ruling on 14 March.
