Holding

The application is dismissed with no remedy

Facts

The applicant, Kenya Union of Domestic Hotel, Education Institutions and Hospital Workers (KUDHEIHA Workers), sought to review a judgment dismissing their claim against Esther Njoroge. The applicant alleged that new evidence was discovered after the judgment was delivered.

Issues

  1. Whether the court has the power to review its judgment
  2. Whether the applicant has presented new and important matter or evidence that was not within the knowledge of the applicant at the time of the judgment

Reasoning

The court found the application lacking merit as it was an attempt to re-litigate a matter that has been finally determined, and the new evidence was not admissible due to the court's previous ruling.

Outcome

Application dismissed
