Watamu Men Fridays Limited v Attorney General & 4 others [2025] KEELC 4786 (KLR)
The court held that the mere filing of a notice of appeal does not preclude the High Court from entertaining an application for review, as an appeal is only deemed to be instituted upon filing the record of appeal, payment of requisite fees, and compliance with procedural rules. In this case, since only a notice of appeal had been filed and no further steps taken, the court retained jurisdiction to hear the review application. However, the applicant failed to demonstrate an error apparent on the face of the record, as the court had already considered the substance of the appellate orders in i…
