#A Kenyan land court certified a dispute urgent and granted temporary relief, but the case will only be fully decided after both sides are heard in January 2022.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief ex-parte ruling delivered on 23rd December 2021 by Hon. Justice P M Njoroge, ELC Judge at Isiolo, on a chamber application dated 15th December 2021. The court, having perused the application and its annexures ex-parte, took the view that the issues raised could only be clarified after the parties had been heard. It accordingly certified the application as urgent and granted prayers 2 and 4, the substance of which is not set out in the ruling text. Costs were left in the cause. The plaintiff/applicant was directed to serve the application upon the defendants/respondents within 10 days, and the parties were directed to appear before the Honourable E.L.C Judge at Embu on 26th January 2022 for directions. This is an interlocutory decision at first instance, not a final determination of the suit; no claims were decided, no authorities were cited, and no costs were finally awarded. The document does not state the case number, the parties' names, or the nature of the underlying dispute, which limits the depth of the brief. It establishes no proposition of law and is useful chiefly as evidence of the interim orders in force between the parties pending the directions hearing at Embu.
