#The Court of Appeal formally finalised the wording of its earlier decision in a land dispute between Nyamira County and a private landowner, without adding new reasoning.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief procedural order of the Court of Appeal at Kakamega (sitting at Kisumu), delivered by Mumbi Ngugi, JA, on 28 April 2022, in an appeal by the County Government of Nyamira against Justus A.M. Sigah. The appeal lay from a ruling and order of the High Court at Kisii (W. Okwany, J.) dated 18 April 2016 in E.L.C. No. 248 of 2013, a land and environment case. The order does not engage with the merits of the appeal, set out any issues for determination, or record any submissions; it does one thing only: it settles the form of the order in terms of a draft prepared and forwarded to the Deputy Registrar by the firm of Soire & Co. Advocates under a letter dated 22 October 2021. No costs order is made, no relief is refused, and no authorities or statutes are cited. Because the judgment contains no reasoning, no binding propositions of law beyond the settlement of the order itself can be extracted, and no separate opinions or dissents arise - the order is a single-judge output. Advocates should treat this document purely as the formal settlement of the appellate order; the substantive holdings, if any, reside in the underlying ruling of the High Court or in any fuller judgment of the Court of Appeal not reproduced here.
