Facts
Plaintiffs (appellants) sued the Respondents at the Federal High Court Lagos seeking some declaratory reliefs, interlocutory and mandatory injunctions. After entering conditional appearance respondents filed an application seeking to strike out the names of the 1st Plaintiff as a party or in the alternative, a stay of all further proceedings in the Suit and ordering of meetings of the shareholder of the 1st Plaintiff in order to determine whether the 1st Plaintiff should still be a party to the action.
The Respondent's application was dismissed. Their appeal to the Court of Appeal was allowed whereupon the Court ordered that a meeting of the 1st Plaintiff/Respondent Company should be held in order to determine whether or not the 1st Plaintiff should continue as a party in the Suit.
The Plaintiffs/Appellants being dissatisfied with the decision of the Court of Appeal appealed to the Supreme Court.
