Holding

The court dismissed the appeal, finding that it lacks jurisdiction to determine the appeal and that the Respondents' subdivision of the suit parcel does not render the suit nugatory.

Facts

The Applicants filed a suit against the Respondents regarding the suit property Kisumu/Dago/566. The Respondents subdivided the parcel into two parcels, Kisumu/Dago/4721 and Kisumu/Dago/4722, which the Applicants are apprehensive will be transferred to other parties.

Issues

  1. Whether the court has jurisdiction to determine the appeal
  2. Whether the Respondents' subdivision of the suit parcel renders the suit nugatory

Reasoning

The court ruled that the matter in ELC No. 13 of 2015 was already determined and that the court lacks jurisdiction to determine this appeal. The court also found that the subdivision of the suit parcel does not render the suit nugatory.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
