Facts

Francis Gitau Njuguna, a licensed auctioneer, attached vehicles and other moveable assets in favor of Benson Mbuchu Gichuki. Objections were filed, and a stay of execution was issued. The Decree holder, Gichuki, did not indicate whether he would proceed with the attachment.

Issues

  1. Whether the attachment should be raised due to the Decree holder's failure to indicate whether he would proceed with the attachment.
  2. Who should bear the costs of the attachment and storage charges.

Reasoning

The application is confusing and selective. The court cannot grant discretion based on inadequate information.

Outcome

Application dismissed

Orders

  • Each party shall bear its own costs of the application.
