#Kenya's Environment and Land Court struck out documents filed without permission, showing courts enforce filing rules strictly but allow parties a second chance.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a short ruling delivered by Mwangi Njoroge, Judge, of the Environment and Land Court at Kitale on 18 November 2019. The provided text contains only the court's final orders and the coram; the substance of the parties' dispute, the case number and the reasoning are not included. The operative order was that all documents of the parties filed without leave of court be struck out, with liberty for any party wishing to have those documents considered at that late stage of the proceedings to formally apply for leave to file them. Counsel appearing were Mr. Kaosa for the plaintiff and Mr. Kiarie for the 1st defendant; counsel for the 2nd to 5th defendants was not present (recorded as 'N/A'). The ruling was read in open court. No costs order, no citations and no prior decision appear in the provided text, and the matter is a first-instance interlocutory ruling rather than an appeal. Because the body of the ruling is absent, the questions framed, the parties' positions and the court's reasoning cannot be reliably summarised beyond the final orders reproduced verbatim.
