CAUSE NO. 207 OF 2016

BONIFACE MUHATIA......................CLAIMANT

VERSUS

UBA KENYA BANK LIMITED.....RESPONDENT

RULING

1. The Claimant/Applicant filed a Notice of Motion Application dated 5

th

May 2021 in which the Claimant seeks to review the judgment to recompute the sums awarded as he relied on a figure that the Court did not apply. In Rule 33 of the Rules of this Court it is provided as follows:

33(1) A person who is aggrieved by a decree or an order from which an appeal is allowed but from which no appeal is preferred or from which no appeal is allowed, may within reasonable time, apply for a review of the judgment or ruling—

a. if there is discovery of new and important matter or evidence which, after the exercise of due diligence, was not within the knowledge of that person or could not be produced by that person at the time when the decree was passed or the order made

;

b. on account of some mistake or error apparent on the face of the record

;

c. if the judgment or ruling requires clarification

; or

d. for any other sufficient reason

.

2. An application for review of a decree or order of the Court under subparagraphs (b), (c) or (d), shall be made to the judge who passed the decree or made the order sought to be reviewed or to any other judge if that judge is not attached to the Court station.

3. A party seeking review of a decree or order of the Court shall apply to the Court by way of notice of motion supported by an affidavit and shall file a copy of the Judgment or decree or Ruling or order to be reviewed.

4. The Court shall, upon hearing an application for review, deliver a ruling allowing or dismissing the application.

5. Where an application for review is granted, the Court may review its decision to conform to the findings of the review or quash its decision and order that the suit be heard again.

6. An order made for a review of a decree or order shall not be subject to further review. (emphasis supplied)

2. The grounds set out in the motion do not warrant a review as sought in this matter. Review application is therefore dismissed with each party bearing its own costs.

It is so ordered.
