Junction Forex Bureau Limited v Rafigue

Junction Forex Bureau Limited v Rafigue [2023] KEELRC 599 (KLR)

The court found that the applicant had established a prima facie case that the respondent, a former employee, misappropriated KES 16,500,000 and was dissipating assets, specifically funds and shares held with FX EGM Security Limited. The respondent did not adequately rebut the evidence of trading and asset dissipation, and the court was persuaded that there was a real risk that the assets would be dissipated, rendering any future judgment nugatory. However, the court found no cogent evidence to support an order for attachment before judgment or for security, as the applicant failed to identif…

Samuel Kahiri Karanja v Barclays Bank of Kenya

Samuel Kahiri Karanja v Barclays Bank of Kenya [2020] KEHC 392 (KLR)

The court found that the plaintiff was the sole authorized operator of his accounts and that the disputed withdrawals were made while he was physically unable to be present at the bank, as evidenced by his medical appointments. The defendant's own investigation confirmed that the plaintiff's signature had been forged and that its employee was implicated in the fraudulent withdrawals. The court held that the defendant bank owed a duty of care to the plaintiff to protect his funds from unauthorized withdrawals and failed in this duty by allowing its employee to perpetrate the fraud. The defenda…
