Southcote Limited v Andrew Smith & 15 others [2019] KEHC 12344 (KLR)

Facts

The plaintiff filed a notice of discontinuous withdrawing the case against all defendants. The defendants filed a party/party bill of costs for costs awarded to them, which was taxed by the taxing master. The plaintiff then filed an application for enlargement of time for filing Notice of objection to the taxation.

Issues

1. The plaintiff's application for enlargement of time for filing Notice of objection to the taxation was granted by the court.
2. The plaintiff's application to stay execution pending the hearing and determination of the application dated 14th August 2019 was dismissed with costs.

Reasoning

The plaintiff's application is misconceived and unmerited because it was determined on 26th September 2019, and the plaintiff seeks to stay execution pending the hearing and determination of the application dated 14th August 2019.

Outcome

The plaintiff's application for enlargement of time for filing Notice of objection to the taxation is dismissed with costs.
