Holding
The Preliminary Objection is dismissed with costs to the Ex-parte Applicant.
Facts
The applicant, Mistry Jadva Parbat & Co. Ltd, sought to stay the judicial review proceedings pending the hearing and determination of a Court of Appeal Civil Application No. 126 of 2009. The respondent, Land Registrar, Kilifi, opposed the stay.
Issues
- Whether the court has inherent jurisdiction to issue a stay order in judicial review proceedings.
- Whether the Malindi case High Court Miscellaneous Application No. 18 of 2008 is relevant to the present proceedings.
Reasoning
The court found that the matters raised by Mr. Kilonzo do not qualify as points of law and that the issue of the Malindi case and its relevance to the present proceedings is a disputed fact. The court distinguished the Manca Francesco case from the present case, stating that the findings in the Manca Francesco case would not apply to this present case.
Outcome
The Preliminary Objection is dismissed.
