BALANCE OF CONVENIENCE DOES NOT TAKE INTEREST OF STRANGERS TO SUIT

Dictum

In other words balance of convenience means such a balance as between the existing parties to the suit, not a balance decided upon by taking into account interests of strangers to the suit.

A PARTY MUST RELY ON THE STRENGTH OF HIS CASE
