TypeBoundary DisputePostureAppeal from a dismissal of a suitCoramJ. M. MUTUNGI
Holding

The plaintiff's suit is dismissed as incompetent and an abuse of the process of the court due to lack of locus standi on the part of the defendant.

Facts

The plaintiff, Francis Koroso, claims that his step-brother's widow, Jane Koroso, unlawfully entered onto his land and annexed a portion to her husband's land, thereby denying him access.

Issues

  1. Locus standi of the defendant to be sued on behalf of the deceased
  2. Boundary dispute resolution

Reasoning

The defendant is not the registered owner of the land and has not been appointed as the administrator of the deceased's estate, thus lacking capacity to represent the estate and sue on behalf of the deceased.

Outcome

The suit is dismissed.

Orders

  • The suit is dismissed.
  • No order for costs is made.
