Section 327:

327. Mandatory joinder of Attorney-General–The Attorney-General has not been put into cause, in breach of rule 2 (3) (b) of the Supreme Court (Constitutional Relief) Rules 1990 and no reason whatsoever has been advanced as to why (i) the Attorney-General has not been made a party or (ii) no amend [Issue 1] CON – 250 Revised Laws of Mauritius ment has been made at an early stage by the plaintiff’s legal adviser to put into cause the Attorney-General, especially after having been put on notice by the defendant’s plea in limine that all interested parties had not been put into cause. HELD it is rather late in the day for Counsel of the plaintiff to come before us and pray, in the interests of justice, that the Court should exercise its discretion in favour of his client and allow him to proceed with his application in its present form, the more so as he knows perfectly well that, if he moves to amend his application after some 15 months have elapsed, he will not be able to offer any valid reason for so doing and will consequently fall foul of Rule 2 (2) of the Supreme Court (Constitutional Relief) Rules 1990.
