Summary at a glance

TypeLand DisputePostureApplication for joinder of proposed interested partyCoramF. Gikonyo, MD MWANGI
The Proposed Interested Party is not an interested party as their claim is a distinct cause of action from the Plaintiffs' claim against the Defendants.

Facts

The 1st Defendant and the 3rd Plaintiffs entered into a Sale Agreement on December 6, 2018, for a property titled Kajiado/Olchoro-onyore/30804. The 1st Defendant claims the agreement was rescinded due to non-compliance, while the 3rd Plaintiffs assert the title remains in the 1st Defendant's name.

Issues

  • Whether the Proposed Interested Party meets the legal threshold for joinder as an interested party

Reasoning

The court found that the Applicant's contractual dispute with the 1st Defendant is a distinct cause of action and that the joinder of the Applicant complicates the issues and delays the determination of the main suit.

Outcome

The Proposed Interested Party's application for joinder is dismissed.
