Holding

The application to strike out the Defendant's defence is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The Plaintiff claims that his late father bought a plot of land in Githunguri Constituency Farmers Cooperative Society Limited and gifted it to the Plaintiff. The Defendant claims to have purchased the land from Daniel Muiruri Njoroge for KShs. 400,000 and registered it in its name.

Issues

  1. Origin of the land
  2. Defendant's status as a purchaser for value without notice
  3. Fraud allegations against the Registry and Njoroge

Reasoning

The Defendant's defence raises several issues that require a trial, and it is not scandalous, frivolous, or an abuse of the process of the court.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
