Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, an association of young lawyers, sought to be joined to proceedings initiated by Joshua John Chirambwe against the Law Society of Zimbabwe. The applicant argued that its members' interests would be directly affected by the outcome. The court found that the applicant's members were already members of the Law Society of Zimbabwe and were therefore adequately represented, making the joinder application unnecessary and without merit.
