Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the applicant failed to disclose material facts regarding rent arrears when obtaining ex-parte orders.
  2. 2 Whether the ruling and orders in Meru BPRT No. 003 of 2022 should apply to this case mutatis mutandis.

Ratio Decidendi

The tribunal found that the applicant failed to disclose the outstanding rent arrears of Kshs. 120,000 when seeking ex-parte orders. Given the similarity of facts and reliefs sought in this case and Meru BPRT No. 003 of 2022, the tribunal determined that the reasoning and final orders in the earlier case should apply to the present matter mutatis mutandis. The tribunal emphasized the necessity of full disclosure in ex-parte applications and held that the applicant's omission warranted the application of the previous ruling's outcome to ensure consistency and fairness in the administration of justice.
