Facts

The appellant Patrick Ndirangu Kibe filed an application dated 19th August 2014 seeking for the return of the lower court's file to the court's registry. The respondent Margaret Wanjiku Kamau filed grounds of opposition on 23rd February 2015, but the document did not find its way to the court record.

Issues

  1. Whether the court misapprehended the law on consent judgments and came to the wrong conclusion.
  2. Whether the applicant's application meets the criteria for review as set out in Order 45 rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

Reasoning

The court ruled that the applicant's application does not meet the criteria for review as set out in Order 45 rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules, and the matters raised by the applicant are really not the subject of a review, but an appeal.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The application is dismissed with costs.
