Holding

The application to strike out the appeal is granted

Facts

The notice of appeal was filed on January 25, 2023, and entrusted to Alex Kimele Mwanzi for service. Mwanzi served some parties but not all. The 6th respondent requested a copy of the notice on April 5, 2023, prompting Ngatia to send the notice by email to all parties. Andrew Onyango attempted to verify service but found that Mwanzi had only served four parties before his uncle's sudden death.

Issues

  1. Whether the notice of appeal was properly served
  2. Whether the extension of time for service was justified

Reasoning

The notice of appeal was not properly served as Mwanzi failed to serve all parties due to his uncle's death. The extension of time for service was not justified.

Outcome

Application granted

Orders

  • Application to strike out the appeal is granted
