What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This brief one-page ruling of the Environment and Land Court at Nairobi, delivered by Mogeni J on 8 July 2024 in ELC Case No. 83 of 2015, deals with an interlocutory application dated 12 June 2024. The defendant had filed no response to, or objection against, the application. The court accordingly allowed the application as prayed, without recording any detailed reasoning. The court further directed the parties to appear before the Deputy Registrar for a pre-trial conference on 18 July 2024, and ordered the Plaintiff/Applicant to serve the defendant with the pre-trial conference date. The ruling was delivered in the presence of Mr. Wachira holding brief for Mr. Kanyi for the Plaintiff/Applicant, with Ms. Caroline Sagina as Court Assistant. No authorities were cited, no costs order was made, and no final determination of the suit was reached; the ruling is purely procedural in nature. The substantive relief sought in the application is not described in the ruling itself.
