TypeMiscellaneous ApplicationPostureApplication to evict respondent from propertyCoramL. Njuguna
Holding

Application is struck out for want of jurisdiction

Facts

Plaintiff claims defendant forcibly occupied her property despite eviction orders. Plaintiff alleges harassment and threats from defendant.

Issues

  1. Whether respondent should be evicted from the suit land
  2. Whether respondent should be committed to civil jail for contempt of court orders

Reasoning

The court's jurisdiction to determine disputes in relation to ownership of land was transferred to the Environment and Land Court by the Environment and Land Court Act of 2012. The application is therefore outside the court's jurisdiction.

Outcome

Application struck out
