Holding
The preliminary objection is dismissed as the defendant failed to demonstrate that the lower court matter is still pending.
Facts
The plaintiff, Richard Kiplanagat Sigei, filed a civil suit against the defendant, Grace Sang, seeking similar orders to those sought in a previously pending matter (CMCC NO. 112 of 2014). The defendant, Grace Sang, raised a preliminary objection claiming the suit is sub-judice.
Issues
- Whether the suit is sub-judice due to a previously pending matter
- Whether the defendant's submissions adequately demonstrate the pending nature of the lower court matter
Reasoning
The defendant's claim that the lower court matter is still pending is not supported by the record, which shows the lower court matter was dismissed for want of prosecution. The defendant's late action in raising the objection is noted.
Outcome
Preliminary Objection Dismissed
