Furthermore the Court fell into a contradiction in its decide regarding the resolutive condition and the lack of payment by one deadline. Therefore, the appellants respectfully request that this Honourable Court upholds this appeal filed by the appellants, and that it cancels and revokes the judgment delivered by the Honourable First Court in the names premised on the 31st May, 2024, and consequently uphold the appellants’ request.
