Legal Issues

Ratio Decidendi

The certificate of taxation had not been set aside or varied, and the law entitles an advocate to judgment for the taxed amount together with interest from the date of the certificate until payment in full. Accordingly, judgment was entered for the applicant in the sum of Kshs. 148,275 with interest at 14% per annum from the date of the certificate of taxation until payment in full.
