Holding
The appeal is dismissed in its entirety, and costs are awarded to the respondent.
Facts
The respondent claimed ownership of a parcel of land known as Title Number Ruiru/Ruiru East Block 2/4842. The appellants claimed to have purchased portions of the land from Kenneth Gikonyo and obtained ownership certificates. The respondent rescinded the transaction, and the appellants sought to serve a third-party notice on Gikonyo.
Issues
- Ownership of the suit property
- Interlocutory judgment against third-party Gikonyo
Reasoning
The court found that the appellants failed to institute a suit against Gikonyo for pecuniary damages or detention of goods, thus not qualifying for interlocutory judgment. The court also noted that the appellants did not proceed against the third party in the appeal.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
