 the day of the hearing, the Counsel for the Petitioners applied by Summons, which unbeknown to the Court, had been filed on 22 June 2023, but misplaced in the Registry, for the Second Petitioner to be removed as it no longer 
is a party to the proceedings.
\par 
\par [7]\tab The Court, in exercise of its powers under Rule 31 of the Supreme Court Rules 2016 and O15 R6 (2) (a) of the High Court Rules 1988, granted the application and ordered that the Second Petitioner, cease to be a party, and with no costs awarded.

ts applied for a Road Contract Licence (RCL) under section 65 (3) (b) to enable them to provide a charter bus service for the guests and staff of the Resort. It is accepted that early in 2004, the Respondents and the General Manager of the Resort had oral
ly agreed for the former to provide charter bus services for the latter\rquote 
s guests and staff and incorporated into writing through exchange of letters of 21 February and 30 October 2005 respectively. It is also not in dispute that the Respondents, had begun o
perating the charter bus service to the Resort for a fee, without the approval of the Authority through the issuance of a proper and valid road contract licence.

\par 
\par (2)\tab Malice, in the sense of an intention to injure the plaintiff or a person in a class of which the plaintiff is a member, and knowledge by the officer both that he has no power 
to do the act complained of and that the act will probably injure the plaintiff or a person in a class of which the plaintiff is a member are alternative, not cumulative, ingredients of the tort. To act with such knowledge is to act in a sufficient sense 
maliciously: See Mengal ((1995) 185 CLR 307) per Deane J.
\par 
\par (3)\tab For the purposes of the requirement that the officer knows that he has no power to do the act complained of, it is sufficient that the officer has actual knowledge that the act was unlawful or, 
in circumstances in which he believes or suspects that the act is beyond his powers, that he does not ascertain whether or not that is so or fails to take such steps as would be taken by an honest and reasonable man to ascertain the true position.
\par 
\par (4)\tab For
 the purposes of the requirement that the officer knows that his act will probably injure the plaintiff or a person in a class of which the plaintiff is a member it is sufficient if the officer has actual knowledge that his act will probably damage the pl
aintiff or such a person or, in circumstance in which he believes or suspects that his act will probably damage the plaintiff or such a person, if he does not ascertain whether that is so or not,
 or if he fails to make such inquiries as an honest and reasonable man would make as to the probability of such damage.
\par 
\par (5)\tab If the states of mind in (3) and (4) do not amount to actual knowledge, they amount to recklessness which is sufficient to support liability under the second limb of the tort.
\par 
\par (6)\tab Where a plai
ntiff establishes (i) that the defendant intended to injure the plaintiff or a person in a class of which the plaintiff is a member (limb one) or that the defendant knew that he had no power to do what he did and that the plaintiff or a person in a class 
o
f which the plaintiff is a member would probably suffer loss or damage (limb two) and (ii) that the plaintiff has suffered loss as a result, the plaintiff has a sufficient right or interest to maintain an action for misfeasance in public office at common 
law. The plaintiff must of course also show that the defendant was a public officer or entity and that his loss was caused by the wrongful act.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\cf17\insrsid15818992\charrsid6844079

In the context of misfeasance of public off
ice, the focus of the requisite element of malice is injury to the plaintiff or injury to some other person through an act which injuriously affects the plaintiff (142). Such malice will exist if the act was done with an actual intention to cause such inj
u
ry. The requirement of malice will also be satisfied if the act was done with knowledge of invalidity or lack of power and with knowledge that it would cause or be likely to cause such injury. Finally, malice will exist if the act is done with reckless in
difference or deliberate blindness (143) to the invalidity or lack of power and that likely injury. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\fs24\ul\cf17\insrsid15818992\charrsid6844079

If liability were imposed upon public officers who though honestly assuming the availability of powers to perform their functions, were found to fall short of crucial 
standards of reasonable care in ascertaining the existence of those powers, there would be a chilling effect on the performance of their functions by public offices. The avoidance of damage to persons who 
might be affected by the exercise of the authority or powers of the office rather that the advancing of the public interest would be the focus of concern.\'94

\par 
\par [96]\tab This Court agrees with the Court of Appeal that while the contract between the Respondents and the 2}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\cf17\super\insrsid15818992\charrsid6844079 nd}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

\f0\fs24\cf17\insrsid15818992\charrsid6844079  Respondent therefore had no alternative but to terminate the agreement.
\par 
\par [97]\tab There remains the issue, given the court\rquote s finding above that there was actionable negligence against the Petitioners in their failure to perform their public duty, whether the Respondents claim in damages can be proven.
\par 
\par [98]\tab It is not in dispute that as evidenced by the agreement between the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\cf17\super\insrsid15818992\charrsid6844079 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

, that the purpose for the RCL being applied for, was for the carriage of passengers to and from the Resort. There is undisputed evidence that the Respondents had begun providing the charter services, albeit illegally, for the Resort in the 2004-2005 peri
od until it was terminated by the Resort. The termination of the contract as between the contracting parties was not for the reason that it was illegal, but because of the frustration of its purpose and its intention.
\par 
\par [99]\tab There is no doubt in the Court\rquote s view, that the failure of the Petitioners, in deciding in a reasonable and timely manner, the Respondent\rquote s RCL application, had resulted in economic loss to the Respondents. While it would be just an
 estimation by this court of the quantum or the exact amount of the loss resultant from the negligence of the Petitioners, it would not, I suggest, be in the interest of justice to refer the issue of damages back to the High Court to deliberate over
. The matter has been ongoing on for almost 20 years.
