The application is dismissed with costs to the plaintiff

Facts

Mary Wanjiku filed a suit against Allan Kimani for eviction and exhumation of remains. The defendant denied ownership and claimed adverse possession. The court issued a judgment on May 30, 2017.

Issues

  1. Whether Joyce Wanja Kimani can be joined as a defendant or interested party
  2. Whether the May 2017 judgment should be set aside

Reasoning

The court dismissed the application as the plaintiff is functus officio and cannot re-open the proceedings. The court has already rendered a judgment and a decree.

Outcome

Application dismissed

Orders

  • Application dismissed with costs to the plaintiff
