Holding
The defendant's application is dismissed with no order as to costs.
Facts
The plaintiffs and defendant were partners in a timber business. The partnership was dissolved in 1998, and the plaintiffs filed a suit against the defendant for unpaid share. The court previously ordered the release of partnership funds to the plaintiffs' advocate, T. T. M. Aswani, to be divided among the partners.
Issues
- Whether the defendant is entitled to an order directing T. T. M. Aswani to pay him his share of the partnership funds.
- Whether the court can order the release of partnership funds to the defendant after the plaintiffs' advocate has already received them.
Reasoning
The court found that the plaintiffs' advocate had already received the partnership funds and that there was an outstanding debt of Kshs.16,837/45 due to the plaintiffs' advocate. There is no net balance to be shared between the partners.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
