Wanderi & another v Madisurp Investments & 7 others; Kamau (Intended Interested Party) [2025] KEELC 4262 (KLR)

The court found that although the Plaintiffs had closed their case and the trial was at an advanced stage, the documents sought to be introduced by the 3rd Defendant had already been alluded to in the proceedings and were not likely to cause prejudice or ambush. The court emphasized the constitutional imperative of a fair hearing and the need to allow parties to present their cases fully, provided no undue prejudice is caused.

Mbongo v Karani

Mbongo v Karani [2025] KEHC 6270 (KLR)

The High Court found that the trial court properly exercised its jurisdiction to review its own judgment under the Small Claims Court Rules, as the omission to consider a document already on record amounted to an error on the face of the record. The evidence in question was filed and available before judgment, and the appellant had the opportunity to challenge its admission at trial but failed to attend. The review was thus justified under Rule 29 of the Small Claims Court Rules. The appellant's claims of being denied a hearing were unfounded, as he was present when the hearing date was set a…

Oruuko c/o Vinny Hardware v Rudra Digital Enterprise

Oruuko c/o Vinny Hardware v Rudra Digital Enterprise [2025] KEHC 3070 (KLR)

The Adjudicator erred in law by improperly exercising her discretion to review the judgment and admitting new evidence after judgment without allowing the Appellant an opportunity to challenge it, which resulted in a miscarriage of justice. A judgment based on unauthenticated or insufficient evidence also constitutes an error of law.
