Holding

The application is dismissed with costs as it was without merit.

Facts

The applicant, Far East Car Bank Ltd, sought an order for transfer to Eldoret Chief Magistrate's Court No. 112 of 2004, but the application was dismissed for want of prosecution on 7th October 2004. The applicant then filed an application to set aside the dismissal order and reinstate the application on 20th May 2005.

Issues

  1. Whether the dismissal order on 7th October 2004 was valid due to lack of prosecution
  2. Whether the application to set aside the dismissal order and reinstate the application was timely

Reasoning

The court found the application without merit and dismissed it, citing the lack of reasons for the applicant's counsel's absence on the date of the dismissal order and the long delay in bringing the application.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs

Orders

  • Application dismissed with costs
