AND

PETER M’ITABATHI……………...………….RESPONDENT

(Appeal from a decree of the High Court of Kenya a MERU (Justice Ong’udi C.O) dated 19th October, 1995 IN H.C.C.A. NO. 15 OF 1995) ***********************

JUDGMENT

OF THE

COURT

This is a second appeal on an interlocutory application. There is no point of law raised within the meaning of Section 72 of the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21). The plaint filed in the subordinate court did not identify the parcel of land upon which the respondent was alleged to have trespassed. We cannot tell from the pleadings whether the appellant was referring to the same parcel of land to which the counterclaim relates. In any event, both the subordinate and superior courts considered the issues and made a concurrent finding with which we can find no fault.

The appeal, therefore, lacks merit and it is hereby dismissed with costs.

Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 14th day of October, 1996.
