Makau & 2 others v Nandwa [2025] KEHC 9870 (KLR)
Upon re-evaluating the evidence, the High Court found that the 2nd Appellant admitted to striking the Respondent from behind while he was cycling ahead on a designated lane, and the police confirmed the Respondent was visible and had the right of way. The trial court's apportionment of liability was unsupported by the evidence, as there was no basis for attributing any fault to the Respondent in a rear-end collision. The Appellants failed to exercise reasonable care to avoid colliding with a vulnerable road user. The High Court therefore set aside the apportionment and held the Appellants 100…

Nabwoba v Ronak Agrovet Limited [2025] KEHC 8236 (KLR)

The trial magistrate erred by failing to address and award the claim for future medical expenses, despite clear pleadings and uncontroverted evidence.

The omission by the trial court constituted an error in law and fact, warranti…

The court held that expert evidence from the appellant's witnesses, which claimed rib fractures, was not credible as it was not supported by contemporaneous medical records or X-ray evidence. The court reaffirmed that expert medical opinion is not binding and must be weighed agai…
