Agrigreen Consulting Corp Limited v National Irrigation Board [2023] KEHC 22580 (KLR)
Court
High Court
Case number
Civil Suit E252 of 2019
Judge
EC Mwita
The High Court held it had jurisdiction despite an arbitration clause and found Agrigreen proved its claim for unpaid consultancy invoices, interest, and costs.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case with a probability of success for the grant of a mandatory injunction. The evidence presented did not demonstrate, even on a prima facie basis, that the plaintiff conceptualized, designed, and developed the defendant's website and IT systems as an independent consultant rather than as an employee. The court noted that the existence of an oral contract and alleged infringement of copyright are substantive issues requiring full evidence at trial and could not be determined at the interlocutory stage. Given the lack of a p…

L W N v J M G t/a Garam Investments Auctioneers & Gokhle Investments [2017] KEHC 5703 (KLR)
Court
High Court
Case number
Civil Suit 15 of 2014
Judge
DN Musyoka
The court found that the application to strike out the suit did not present a plain and obvious case warranting such a drastic measure. The existence or non-existence of a marriage between the parties is a matter of fact that can only be established at a full trial, not at the preliminary stage. The court also held that the majority of the prayers in the plaint relate to property and business interests allegedly arising from the marriage, not employment. Only one prayer related to consultancy services, which does not amount to an employment relationship. Therefore, the High Court retains juri…
