Holding

The court dismissed the plaintiff's application for review

Facts

The plaintiff's suit was dismissed by Ondeyo J on September 21, 2000, due to her absence and alleged refusal to testify, despite her son being present. The plaintiff claims she was suffering from acute tonsillitis and could not attend court.

Issues

  1. Whether the dismissal of the plaintiff's suit was justified
  2. Whether the plaintiff's application for review should be granted

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiff was absent and did not produce medical documents to support her claim of illness, and thus dismissed her suit for lack of evidence.

Outcome

Application for review dismissed

Orders

  • The plaintiff's suit was dismissed for lack of evidence
