#What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a short procedural ruling by GMA Ongondo, J of the Environment and Land Court at Homa Bay in Environment and Land Appeal E027 of 2022, delivered on 6 June 2023. The applicants/appellants, through Mr Nyauke, sought 14 days to file and serve an amended notice of motion to show the correct numbers of court files they intended to produce as new evidence, as sought in their notice of motion dated November 23, 2022. The respondent, appearing in person, raised no objection to the application. The court, in the interest of justice, directed the applicant's counsel to file and serve the amended notice of motion within 14 days, and directed the respondent to file and serve her response within 14 days of service, with liberty to file and serve submissions within the same period. The notice of motion was fixed for further directions on July 25, 2023. No costs order was made, no authorities were cited, and no substantive issues were determined. The ruling simply regulates the further conduct of an application for leave to adduce additional evidence on the appeal.
