Judge
["EM Mwamuye"]
The Court held that Salim Idha Mbarak was not personally bound by Mohamed Idha Mbarak's lease obligations because he was not the contracting lessee and was not shown to be Mohamed's legal representative. The Court therefore declined to nullify the lease against Mohamed's estate in proceedings where the estate was not properly represented, but found that Salim had no independent personal right to occupy the property, entitled the Plaintiffs to vacant possession, awarded KShs. 100,000 as general damages for trespass, and rejected mesne profits for lack of proof.
