In support of the application CLIVE CRITCHLOW has sworn an affidavit giving grounds. Mr. Kimani Counsel for the Applicant submits that the claim in the suit arises out of a road accident involving two motor vehicles namely KAG 584J ZB 6784 and KAY 266Y. As a result of the said accident the deceased Benjamin Rono who was lawfully traveling in motor vehicle No. KAY 266Y sustained serious injuries which caused his death.

For the real issue in controversy to be effectively determined by the Court it is important and necessary to issue a Third Party Notice against the owner of motor vehicle registration No. KAY 266Y.
