Holding

The defendants' application to strike out the plaintiffs' suit is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The plaintiffs filed a suit claiming adverse possession of a parcel of land (Kericho/Kapkatet/1390), but the defendants argued that the parcel had ceased to exist due to a land subdivision decision by the Land Control Board.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiffs' suit is frivolous and should be struck out.
  2. Whether the plaintiffs can pursue their claim for adverse possession after the parcel was subdivided.

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiffs' claim can be amended to address the issue of the parcel's existence and that the dispute should be resolved on its merits.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
