Judges
BM Kimemia, Janet Mwatsama, B Sawe, F Lotuiya, P. Gichuki, M Chesikaw
The tribunal found that the application to strike out the 2nd respondent was premature because the issues raised—whether the caveat was withdrawn and whether the 2nd respondent is no longer the registered owner of the collateral motor vehicle—are matters of evidence that can only be properly interrogated at trial. The tribunal emphasized that the power to strike out a party should not be exercised where the determination of the application would require the court to delve into the merits of the case or evaluate contested evidence. As such, the application lacked merit and was dismissed with c…

Court
High Court
Case number
Civil Suit 94 of 2008
Judge
J Karanja
The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case with a probability of success because the agreement between the parties did not provide for enforcement through the Disposal of the Uncollected Goods Act, and the plaintiff could not simultaneously enforce the agreement under both the contract terms and the Act.

Therefore, the plaintiff did not meet the threshold for the grant of a tempor…
