Facts

The plaintiff intends to leave Kenya for New York, and the court ordered his evidence to be taken on a specific date. The defendant filed an application seeking leave to file supplementary documents and to stay further proceedings.

Issues

  1. Whether the defendant's application for leave to file supplementary documents and stay further proceedings is valid
  2. Whether the defendant's application is an abuse of the court process

Reasoning

The court found the defendant's application to be an abuse of the court process and frivolous, as it was filed after the court had rendered its decision. The court noted that the defendant had been given adequate time to prepare his defence and that the application was intended to delay the hearing of the matter.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs

Orders

  • The application for leave to file supplementary documents and stay further proceedings is dismissed
