#This 2002 Kenya Court of Appeal filing merely postponed a criminal appeal to a later date; it decided nothing and sets no legal precedent.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This document is not an appellate judgment but a brief procedural order issued by the Court of Appeal at Nairobi on 15 January 2002 in Criminal Appeal No. 41 of 1994, Jackson Gathiru Kariuki v Republic. Coram were Gicheru, Lakha and O'Kubasu, JJ.A. The single order made was an adjournment: at the request of counsel for the appellant, Mr. Kiage, who had received intentions late, and with no objection from Mr. Bwonwonga for the respondent, the appeal was adjourned to a date to be fixed at the Registry. No issues were framed, no evidence or submissions were considered, no decision below was reviewed, and no costs order was made. The document contains no ratio, no binding propositions, and no citation of any authority or statute. It is recorded here for completeness of the appeal file only; it establishes no precedent and does not disturb any decision. Any substantive determination of the appeal would be found in a later judgment of the Court, which is not before us.
