formulate the following issues for determination. This may, even be necessary, in<br />
view of the fact that none of the counsel has ever thought of proposing any issue<br />
for determination at the end of their respective addresses, despite the fact that the<br />
addresses hammer on vital and fundamental issues which require careful<br />
considerations and determination. The issues are as follows:<br />
ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION:<br />
1. Whether or not the lower court had jurisdiction to hear and determine the<br />
instant case.<br />
2. Whether or not the decision of the lower court to sell the house No. 14<br />
Gloster street Banjul was predicated on and preceded by a due observance of<br />
proper steps and procedure.<br />
3. Whether or not the heirs and appellant in particular have right of pre emption<br />
over the estate.<br />
4. Whether or not there was a substantial compliance with the rules of<br />
procedure by the lower court.<br />
However, before embarking on determination of these issues it should be borne<br />
in mind that as an appellate court it is not our business to abdicate our<br />
responsibility to justifying the errors of the lower court. Conversely our major<br />
function is to bring into conformity with reality and consistency with provisions of<br />
law all actions of the lower court that are out of tune. To this end, we are to make<br />
sure that the lower courts confine their actions within their constitutional and<br />
statutory powers. With this at the back of our minds we will go to the 1st issue for<br />
determination.
