TypeLand DisputePostureAppeal from a final judgment, application for reviewCoramB.N. OLAO
Holding
The application is dismissed with costs to the defendants.
Facts
The plaintiff sought to be declared the owner of land parcels No. KYENI/MUFU/7142 to 7148 by adverse possession, and the defendants held the land in trust for him. The plaintiff was awarded 2.6 acres of the land.
Issues
- The plaintiff's claim for 2.6 acres was too small considering the nature of the case.
- The plaintiff seeks to review the judgment and have his witnesses give oral evidence.
Reasoning
The judgment was not a default judgment and can only be reviewed through a motion under Order 45 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The plaintiff's claim for 2.6 acres was not an error apparent on the face of the record and the plaintiff could have included the issues in his affidavits earlier.
Outcome
Dismissed
