Don Karolis Jasingh Dissanayake et al. vs Don Hendrick Jasingh Dissanayake et al. – CA 1039/98 F -2012

In the case involving Kumarihamy Wijekoon (appellant and representative of the heirs of the late Don Karolis Jasingh Dissanayake) and several defendant-respondents, the court examined whether the appeal should be permitted to proceed given the lack of instructions provided to counsel by the appellant.

The judgment reaffirms procedural requirements relat
