The union argues that Kedise consequently lost his presidency because his membership of BLLAHWU lapsed on account of his failure to pay his subscription fees for a cumulative period of over three months.

In his heads of argument Kedise through his lawyer, Obonye Jonas, says: “In the premises, the court is urged to find as a fact that the applicants continue to deduct the respondent’s subscription fee from his salary on a monthly basis to this day.
