Holding
The appeal is dismissed with costs to the respondent.
Facts
The appellant sought to construct 24 residential maisonettes on the suit property, but the Kenya Airports Authority (respondent) demanded the cessation of construction and removal of any structures due to safety and security concerns.
Issues
- Whether the High Court's decision dismissing the appellant's Judicial Review application was correct.
- Whether the appellant was entitled to court aid or equity given his actions leading to the loss.
Reasoning
The court found the appellant solely responsible for the loss, as he failed to heed the respondent's warning and proceeded with the project despite the denial of approval. The court reiterates the principle that a court of equity will not assist a person in extricating themselves from circumstances they have created.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
