What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief chambers ruling by Gicheru, J.A. of the Court of Appeal at Nairobi in Civil Application No. Nai. 362 of 2001, an application by Kenya Investments Limited for an extension of time to file and serve the Notice of Appeal and the Record of Appeal out of time in an intended appeal against a ruling of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Githinji, J.) dated 16th May 2000 in H.C.C.C. No. 1512 of 1998. The respondent, Thrift Homes Limited, did not oppose the application. On that basis the court granted the extension: time for lodging the Notice of Appeal was extended by 7 days from the date of the order, and time for lodging the record of appeal was extended by 15 days from the date of lodging the Notice of Appeal. Costs of the application, agreed at Kshs.10,000/=, were awarded to the respondent. The order is dated 30th July 2002. As an unopposed procedural ruling, it contains no reasoned analysis, no cited authorities, and no binding propositions of law; its significance is limited to the extension of time granted and the agreed costs award.
