A representative constitutional petition filed by unincorporated associations without leave is incompetent and was struck out.
* Constitutional law – representative/group constitutional petitions – requirement for prior leave under Order 1 Rule 8(1) of the Civil Procedure Rules. * Civil procedure – capacity to sue – unincorporated associations lacking legal personality cannot sue in their names. * Constitutional Court Rules – Rule 17 does not bar preliminary objections to competence. * Competence – failure to comply with mandatory procedural requirement renders a petition incompetent and liable to be struck out.
