HIGH COURT OF KENYA
AT MOMBASA
SUCCESSION CAUSE NO. 313 OF 2008
IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF
LOISE WAITHERA STANLEY …………………………………DECEASED
RULING
I have had an opportunity to peruse this file. I note that Hon. Justice Muriithi who handled the matter before me had directed that counsel appear and highlight their written submissions. This was not done. In my view it is necessary that such highlighting be done as the case has a lengthy and complex history and requires some articulation. As such the ruling is reserved pending such highlighting.
