This is an appeal from dismissal of an application to reinstate a suit which was dismissed during a public holiday. I will not belabor more on this issue. Where a matter falls on a public holiday, nothing moves, no orders are issued because parties are not there to submit on the impending dismissal (in this case). 2. I shall reverse the lower Court’s decision and send back this file to the lower Court for further action. Each party shall bear own costs. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY ON THIS 28TH DAY OF MAY 2026. HON L P KASSAN JUDGE https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/7364/eng@2026-05-28 1
