Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, claiming to be a member of Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA), sought an order suspending ZIMURA's council pending a forensic audit. The respondents opposed, arguing the applicant's membership had been terminated on 22 May 2023, thus depriving him of locus standi to bring the application under section 223 of the Companies Act.
