TypeCivil SuitPostureApplication to strike out the DefenceCoramFRED A. OCHIENG
Holding

The defendants have an arguable Defence and the application to strike out the Defence is dismissed.

Facts

The plaintiffs sold goods to the defendants at an agreed price of Kshs. 40,000,000/-, but the defendants failed to pay the balance of Kshs. 38,000,000/-. The defendants raised a contention that the goods were not of the same value as those offered by the plaintiffs.

Issues

  1. Whether the defendants' contention that the goods were not of the same value as those offered by the plaintiffs is valid.
  2. Whether the defendants' Defence is an abuse of the process of the court.

Reasoning

The court finds that the defendants' Defence raises triable issues and is not an abuse of the process of the court. The defendants' contention that the goods were not of the same value as those offered by the plaintiffs is not sufficient to strike out the Defence.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs to the defendants.
