Facts

Private Development Company Limited filed a case against Rebecca Ngonyo and Samuel Kamau Macharia over ownership and possession of land. The case was consolidated with other cases and the applicant was informed of the hearing date.

Issues

  1. Whether the Environment and Land Court has jurisdiction over the matter
  2. Whether the applicant was aware of the hearing date

Reasoning

The applicant and its director were aware of the hearing date and chose not to attend, thus forfeiting their right to be heard. The court does not see merit in the application.

Outcome

Application dismissed
