Lengoyiap v Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) & 4 others
Lengoyiap v Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) & 4 others (Election Appeal E186 of 2026) [2026] KEELRC 2424 (KLR) (20 August 2026) (Ruling)
The petition was filed well outside the mandatory 21-day period for trade union election petitions, and the petitioner had not first obtained leave to extend time. The pending application for extension did not cure the defect. The time limit is a pure point of law, the non-compliance was undisputed, and the petition was therefore incompetent and strikeable in limine.

- Trade union election timelines
- Preliminary objection
- Jurisdiction
- Extension of time
- Striking out petition filed out of time
- Union branch election validity

The court taxed the bill item by item, allowing only charges that were properly drawn under the Auctioneers Rules or reasonably proved, striking out unsupported claims for inventory, other disbursements, and process server’s fees, and substituting reasonable amounts where claimed transport expenses were not proved. The final taxed amount was Kshs. 114,435.27.

Atoko (Suing as the Legal Representative and Administrator of the Estate of the Late Charles Atoko Kulari) v Ima Hauliers Limited
Atoko (Suing as the Legal Representative and Administrator of the Estate of the Late Charles Atoko Kulari) v Ima Hauliers Limited (Civil Suit E022 of 2025) [2026] KEMC 530 (KLR) (19 August 2026) (Judgment)
The plaintiff did not prove exclusive negligence by the defendant’s driver, and the defendant did not prove its alternative version either; the evidence showed uncertainty attributable to both sides, so liability was fairly apportioned 50:50. Special damages were allowed only to the extent strictly proved, and the heads of general damages were assessed using recent comparable authorities and the deceased minor’s age, resulting in a global award for dependency.

The taxing master committed an error of principle by assessing instruction fees at Kshs 18,900 without properly anchoring the fee to the judgment value of Kshs 200,000 and the governing principles on taxation; the taxation therefore could not stand and had to be remitted for reassessment.

Muchiri v Eldoret Hospital Limited
Muchiri v Eldoret Hospital Limited (Constitutional Petition E024 of 2021) [2026] KEHC 13031 (KLR) (19 August 2026) (Ruling)
The reference was competent because the applicant timely filed a notice of objection and the taxing officer failed to supply reasons, so time for the reference had not effectively run; alternatively, time was enlarged under paragraph 11(4). On the merits, the taxing officer committed an error of principle by treating opposition and vague references to industry/time as sufficient to justify a Kshs. 500,000 instruction fee without the required specific analysis. The court therefore interfered, fixed a fair instruction fee at Kshs. 250,000, and upheld the rest of the taxation.

Kahoro v Waititu & 4 others
Kahoro v Waititu & 4 others (Environment and Land Appeal E021 of 2024) [2026] KEELC 5342 (KLR) (19 August 2026) (Judgment)
The appeal succeeded because the 1st defendant had died more than one year earlier, the suit had abated as against that defendant, and the application before the trial court sought only substitution without first seeking extension of time or revival of the abated suit. That omission made the application incompetent, so the ruling allowing substitution was wrong in law.
Source excerpt
- Substitution of deceased party
- Abatement of suit
- Extension of time
- Revival of suit
- Order 24 of the civil procedure rules
- Spousal consent in land transactions
