Isaac’s Investment Co Ltd v Archipoint Consulting Architects

Isaac’s Investment Co Ltd v Archipoint Consulting Architects [2025] KECA 1117 (KLR)

The Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction to entertain the applicant's injunction application because the applicant neither sought nor obtained leave from the Court of Appeal to appeal against the High Court's decision under section 35 of the Arbitration Act, as required by the Supreme Court's decisions in Nyutu and Synergy. Furthermore, the applicant did not apply to set aside the arbitral award under section 35, and thus there is no decision of the High Court under that section capable of being appealed. The assertion that leave was granted by the High Court is irrelevant, as only the Court of…

Shah & another v Greenview Developers Limited

Shah & another v Greenview Developers Limited [2025] KEHC 17246 (KLR)

The court held that under Section 3(1) of the Arbitration Act, an 'arbitral award' includes interim awards, and Section 36(1) does not restrict enforcement to only final awards. The respondent's argument that the application is premature due to the pending issue of costs is not supported by the Act or binding precedent.
