Holding
The Court dismisses the application for leave to appeal with costs to the respondent
Facts
The High Court recognized and enforced an arbitral award in favor of Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Limited (the applicant) against Capture Solutions Limited (the respondent). The applicant later moved the Court to appeal the High Court's decision, but the Single Judge dismissed the application for extension of time to file the appeal. The applicant then moved the Court for leave to appeal the High Court's decision.
Issues
- Whether the Court should grant leave to appeal the High Court's decision to recognize and enforce the arbitral award
- Whether the applicant has met the time requirements for filing an appeal
Reasoning
The Court found no merit in the application, noting that the applicant failed to apply for leave to appeal within the stipulated period and did not provide a reasonable explanation for the delay.
