respondent served with an application ought to be confident that the case made out in the papers so served is the full case he/she is called to plead to. If the applicant by inadvertence, error or lack of diligence fails to incorporate all relevant evidence in his founding papers, it does not avail to him to seek to file further ‘founding papers’ to augment those originally issued and served. He stands or falls by his originally issued founding papers. If such a litigant could file and serve his founding papers in batches or waves, the respondent would be called upon, within a limited dies induciae, to continually re-evaluate the case he/she is called to meet. xviii. The applicant, therefore, has done two things in violation of the peremptory rules of court: he has failed to file a complete and therefore valid application with the Registrar of the Constitutional Court and he has failed to effect valid service of his application within the prescribed seven-day period. His application is thus fatally and incurably defective. It ought to be struck off the roll. MERITS 1. Ad Para 1.1.- 3.7 No issues arise save to state that my address for service and that of the 23rd and 25th respondents is c/o Messrs Nyika, Kanengoni & Partners of 3 rd Floor, ZIMDEF House, off Mother Patrick Road, Rotten Row, Harare. 2.
