Holding
The appeal lacks merit and is dismissed with costs to the 1st Respondent.
Facts
The 1st Respondent filed a suit against the Appellant and the 2nd Respondent seeking a declaration that she was entitled to exclusive and unimpeded right of possession and occupation of plot number C1-140 in Kayole within Nairobi County. The Appellant joined the 3rd Respondent as a third party to the suit.
Issues
- Whether the auction was void and the 2nd Respondent did not give sufficient notice.
- Whether the Appellant had a valid claim to the Suit Property and the 1st Respondent's repossession was procedurally correct.
Reasoning
The court found that the 2nd Respondent did not give notice to the 1st Respondent and that the Appellant had not produced evidence of payment of rates, leading to the repossession of the Suit Property. The court also noted discrepancies in the evidence presented by the 2nd Respondent.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
