Holding

The hearing of the matter is adjourned.

Facts

The plaintiff is the administrator of the estate of Asha Jabril Mohamed (deceased). The defendants include Michael Koome Mburugu, Isiolo County Government, Jediel Kirimi Rutere, The Chief Land Registrar, The National Land Commission, The Director of Survey, and The Attorney General. The case involves a murder case at Chuka and an outstanding Court of Appeal case.

Issues

  1. Whether the hearing of the matter should be adjourned due to the 1st defendant's absence on a work-related assignment.
  2. Whether the plaintiff's advocate should properly serve the court's orders upon all absent parties.

Reasoning

The court found that the 1st defendant's absence was not due to a frolic of his own and that the murder case at Chuka and the outstanding Court of Appeal case necessitated the adjournment.

Outcome

The matter was adjourned.

  • During the next mention date, Mr. Lakicha will apprise the court regarding developments in Court of Appeal No. 205 of 2019 at Nyeri.
