Holding
The Court denied the Application for Joinder of Advocate as Interested Party.
Facts
The Plaintiff filed a suit against the Defendants in 2013. The suit was withdrawn in 2014, but the Plaintiff filed an Application for costs against the 1st Defendant in 2021. The Plaintiff claims that the law firm Sifuna & Sifuna Advocates should be enjoined in the suit and granted leave to file a response.
Issues
- Whether Sifuna & Sifuna Advocates should be enjoined in the suit and granted leave to file a response.
- Whether the Plaintiff should be ordered to pay personally the 2nd Defendant's taxed party and party costs.
Reasoning
The Court found that the Plaintiff had not disclosed all material facts in the matter before another Court and that there would be a miscarriage of justice if this court relied on the affidavit.
Outcome
Denied
