Holding

The application is struck out with costs to the respondents.

Facts

The plaintiff was awarded 2/3 costs in a consent judgment entered on 2.7.2014. The plaintiff's advocates, M/s Bulimo & Co., were replaced by M/s Amasakha & Co. The plaintiff now seeks a stay of the decree and costs.

Issues

  1. Representation of the plaintiff by new advocates
  2. Validity of the consent judgment

Reasoning

The court found that the new advocates did not seek leave to come on record and did not follow the laid down procedures. The application was filed without leave of the court and is therefore incompetent.

Outcome

Struck out with costs

Orders

  • Application struck out
