Holding
The appeal is dismissed with costs. The question of ownership and therefore the release of the motor vehicle can only be determined after hearing of the appeal.
Facts
The appellant, Caesar Njagi Kinguru, sought declaratory orders that a motor vehicle (Reg. No. KUM 220) belonged to him. The respondent, Josiah Mwangi Marigi, counterclaimed for transfer of the vehicle or refund of the purchase price. The lower court dismissed both the appellant's suit and the respondent's counterclaim.
Issues
- Ownership of motor vehicle Reg. No. KUM 220
- Release of motor vehicle to the appellant
Reasoning
The lower court's judgment was not a decision on the ownership of the vehicle as it did not find who was the owner. The court appreciated that the vehicle was in many aspects owned by the appellant.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
