The respondent sued the appellant in a
summary suit and obtained an ex parte
judgment and the appeal of the judge to the
court of appeal was dismissed hence this

appeal on the grounds of reliance on the
consent judgment, the consent with the one of
the partners and alleged illegality of the loan
agreement. The background is that the
respondent loaned a sum of money to the
appellant firm which it failed to pay on agreed
date and the respondent acquired a consent
judgment from one of the partners and the
appeal to the court of appeal was dismissed
after full scrutiny that there was service of
summons.
