Holding
The court finds the plaintiff's claim valid and genuine, and directs the defendants to pay Kshs.360,000 for the 8 acres, with interest and costs.
Facts
In 1965, the plaintiff bought shares in Sergoit rock farm for Kshs.2,900. In 1988-1989, the defendants unlawfully rejected a receipt of Kshs.900 from the plaintiff, which entitled him to 14 additional acres. During the suit, the defendants allocated 6 more acres to the plaintiff, but 8 acres remain unallocated.
Issues
- plaintiff's entitlement to additional 8 acres
- plaintiff's claim for monetary compensation for the 8 acres
Reasoning
The court assesses the value of the land at Kshs.40,000 per acre as of the time of filing, resulting in a total of Kshs.360,000. The defendants are responsible for the proceedings and must pay the compensation.
Outcome
The plaintiff wins the case.
Orders
