CIV/APN/510/2001

IN THE
HIGH COURT OF LESOTHO

In the
matter between:

LESOTHO
TEACHERS TRADE UNION (LTTU) APPLICANT

vs

THE
DIRECTOR - TEACHING SERVICE DEPARTMENT RESPONDENT

EX
TEMPORE - JUDGMENT

Delivered
by the Honourable Mr Acting Justice T. Nomngcongo on the 12th June
2003

Court:
The applicant has no claim of right to the relief it is seeking. In
any case it cannot force respondents to afford it stop-order

facilities in respect of some loan scheme which is only at a proposal
stage, see MM8.

Surely
any government department has to go through certain procedure before
it embark on a course of action especially one having
financial
implications. Now when without refusing to assist the applicants,
they are asked for relevant information they adopt
an attitude
without justification that they are discriminated against. They then
rush to court without further ado. This cannot
be allowed.

I have no
hesitation in dismissing this application. It has no merit
whatsoever. The application is dismissed with costs.

NOMNGCONGO
