Holding
The application is dismissed with no orders as to costs.
Facts
The applicant, Florence Wamaitha Chege, sought leave to appeal against the judgment of the Environment and Land Court of Kenya at Thika, which allowed the respondent's claim for an order compelling the Land Registrar to restrictions/cautions registered against title number Kiambaa/Kihara/1023 and dismissed the applicant's counterclaim for adverse possession.
Issues
- Whether the applicant's application for leave to appeal out of time is meritorious
- Whether the applicant's notice of appeal was properly filed
Reasoning
The court found the delay in appointing a new advocate to be inordinate and not sufficiently explained, and the grant of extension of time would be prejudicial to the respondent.
Outcome
Dismissed
