Mulungu v Kariuki (Land Case Appeal E076 of 2024)

Mulungu v Kariuki (Land Case Appeal E076 of 2024) [2026] KEELC 5187 (KLR) (29 July 2026) (Judgment)

The appeal succeeded because the respondent’s substantive claim to enforce transfer of land was brought through an ex parte miscellaneous application, which is not a lawful originating process for such relief. That procedure denied the appellant a proper hearing and prevented evidence from being tested in the ordinary manner, making the lower court’s orders unsustainable.

  • Miscellaneous application as an originating process
  • Transfer of land and land control board consent
  • Privity of contract
  • Constructive trust and proprietary estoppel
  • Fair hearing and filing procedure
