Holding
The Plaintiff's suit is dismissed with costs as it is an abuse of the court process due to the existence of the 2006 Nairobi CMCC No. 14066 matter.
Facts
In 2006, the 1st Defendant's shareholder initiated a civil suit in Nairobi CMCC No. 14066 of 2006, where the Plaintiff lost and a warrant of arrest was issued for Kshs. 1,477,650. In 2015, the Plaintiff discovered that the 1st Defendant had unlawfully transferred plot number 38C in Mlolongo area without his authority.
Issues
- Whether the Plaintiff's suit is res judicata due to the 2006 Nairobi CMCC No. 14066 matter.
- Whether the Plaintiff's consent to transfer plot number 38C to Zakayo Mutisya in 2006 was valid and binding.
Reasoning
The Plaintiff's consent to transfer plot number 38C to Zakayo Mutisya in 2006 was valid and binding, and the Plaintiff cannot now claim fraud in the 2015 transfer.
Outcome
Dismissed
Orders
- The suit is dismissed with costs.
