Holding

The application for extension of time to file and serve a Notice of Appeal is dismissed with costs to the 2nd and 3rd respondents.

Facts

The applicant bought 5 acres of land from James Tobias Okonjo, an administrator of the estate of Michael Okonjo. The land was later sold to Joseph Odingo Ogola, and the applicant filed a suit in the subordinate court seeking an injunction to restrain the respondents from selling or transferring the land. The suit was dismissed as time-barred, and the applicant appealed, which was also dismissed.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has shown that the intended appeal has merit.
  2. Whether the applicant has explained the delay in filing the application for extension of time.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant has not shown that the intended appeal has merit and that the delay in filing the application for extension of time is inordinate.

Outcome

Dismissed

Orders
