The case against Crane Bank and Ms Fang Min is not over despite a Supreme Court decision in their favour.
The proprietors of Belex Tours and Travel Limited, have petitioned the Chief Justice Bart Katureebe, seeking an inquiry against Justice Benjamin Odoki alleging 'irregular conduct' of the judge in determination of the case which Crane Bank and Ms Fang Min won on the final appeal.
Petition
In a July 10 petition to the Chief Justice, Belex Tours and Travel is seeking a review of the July 8 majority judgment by Justice Odoki and an inquiry into his alleged irregular conduct in handling the appeal.
