Summary at a glance
TypePreliminary ObjectionPosturePreliminary Objection to SuitCoramM.D. MWANGI
The preliminary objection is dismissed with costs in favor of the Plaintiff.
Facts
The Plaintiff filed a suit against the 1st Defendant and other parties regarding ownership of a property. The 1st Defendant raised a preliminary objection claiming the suit is res judicata due to a previous judgment in Kajiado ELC No. 401 of 2017.
Issues
- Whether the suit is res judicata
- Whether the suit is bad in law, misconceived, and discloses no reasonable cause of action
Reasoning
The court found that the issues raised in the preliminary objection do not meet the threshold of a preliminary objection as established in law. Res judicata and the allegation of want of reasonable cause of action require factual interrogation and are not suitable issues for determination through a preliminary objection.
Outcome
Dismissed
Orders
- Preliminary Objection dismissed with costs in favor of the Plaintiff
