Holding
The appeal is dismissed with costs to the 3rd respondent
Facts
The appellants approached the law firm of Veljee Devshi and Bakrania advocates to sell their land. The firm drew an agreement for sale, and the appellants paid the purchase price. However, the firm failed to pay the appellants the balance of the sale proceeds and interest. The appellants sued the respondents for the balance and interest.
Issues
- Whether the respondents jointly and severally pay the appellants the sum of Kshs.14,167,080/= and interest thereon
- Whether the respondents' resignation from the firm was valid
Reasoning
The learned judge found that the 1st respondent acted alone in collecting and depositing the cheque from the appellants to his personal account, and thus the respondents did not jointly and severally pay the appellants. The resignation of the 3rd respondent was valid.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
