- Decided
- 14 September 2010
The court allows the change of legal representation and orders that the firm of Fadhil and Kilonzo take over representation of the plaintiff.
Facts
The plaintiff, Ali Bakari Mohamed, had a judgment in his favor against Songhai Investments Ltd. The plaintiff's previous advocate, Maranga Maosa, advertised the defendant's property for sale, leading to an auction. The plaintiff lost faith in Maranga Maosa and applied to change his legal representation.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiff can change his legal representation
- Whether the plaintiff's previous advocate has fully discharged his duties and fees
Reasoning
The court found that there was no more trust between the plaintiff and his previous advocate due to the breakdown in the advocate-client relationship and the plaintiff's loss of faith. The court allowed the change of representation as the plaintiff no longer wished to retain the services of Maranga Maosa.
Outcome
The application to change legal representation is allowed.
Orders
- The firm of Fadhil and Kilonzo is ordered to take over representation of the plaintiff
