This appeal is scheduled for judgment on 5/11/2025. In the past, the judgment date had to be vacated because the advocates had misled the court that the appellants had filed written submissions only for the court to discover no such submissions had been filed. 2. On 10/2/2025, the parties’ advocates invited the court to admit the appeal for hearing. While preparing to write the judgment, it has emerged that the record of appeal does not have typed and certified copies of proceedings of the trial court. Also missing from the record of appeal are: (i) the memorandum of appearance; (ii) the defence; and (iii) certified copy of the decree of the trial court. 3. Let the parties attend court on 5/11/2025 at 9.00 a.m to show cause why the appeal should not be struck out in limine on the above grounds. Due to the missing important documents, the order reserving a judgment date in this appeal is hereby vacated. 4. The Court Registry shall ensure this order is extracted, uploaded onto the CTS and served on the parties’ advocates within 48 hours. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/keelc/2025/6797/eng@2025-10-07 1
