Holding

The court dismissed the application and the suit, finding that the Plaintiff had no capacity to file the suit and that the application was premised on the wrong procedure.

Facts

The Plaintiff, Beth Wanjiru Kamau, sought an order for the Defendant, Savings & Loan (K) Ltd, to render an account of all monies paid towards servicing a loan granted to her late husband. She also sought to continue servicing the loan account by monthly payments of KShs.100,000. The Defendant filed a preliminary objection, arguing that the application was defective, bad in law, and unsustainable.

  3. Procedural irregularities

Reasoning
