#A Kenyan appeals court froze a damages award and protected land from sale by consent, showing negotiated settlements can secure interim relief without a contested hearing.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a short consent order of the Court of Appeal at Kisumu, sitting as a full bench of Maraga, Azangalala and ole Kantai, JJ.A., in a Rule 5(2)(b) application for stay of execution brought by Wallace Kipyegon Chamdany against David Kipyegon Chepkwony. The application sought interim relief pending the hearing and determination of Kisumu Civil Appeal No. 4 of 2015, an appeal against the judgment and decree of the High Court of Kenya at Kericho (Waithaka J.) dated 9th December 2014 in HCCC No. 27 of 2011, in which damages had been awarded against the applicant. When the application came up for hearing on 4th March 2015, counsel for both parties informed the court that they had reached a consent. The court recorded the consent and made orders in its terms: the status quo then obtaining was to be maintained pending the hearing and determination of the appeal; the respondent was restrained from selling, parting with possession, transferring or charging the suit property pending the appeal; a stay of execution was granted in respect of the damages awarded against the appellant; and costs of the application were to be in the appeal. As a consent order, the document contains no reasoning, no issues for determination and no binding propositions; the decision below was not reviewed or disturbed, and the disposition reflects the parties' agreement rather than an adjudication by the court.
