ADC’s Interlocutory Appeal: A Questionable Legal Strategy

I agree with you. The ADC’s legal approach in this case is flawed. Why appeal an order that was neither injunctive nor adverse to David Mark? I cannot fathom their reasoning. The judge never granted a restraining order. Once the court asked the plaintiff to notify the defendants, the ex parte motion failed and became a motion on notice. They should have filed a strong opposition to both the motion and the main suit. Instead, they lodged an interlocutory appeal against the order to show cause. It strikes me as both unusual and untidy. I hope they return to the Federal High Court to address the pending suit. A further appeal to the Supreme Court would only complicate matters for them.
