Effect of failure to identify the proper legal framework while moving the Supreme Court
Brief facts
The instant application sought substitution of the deceased petitioner (deceased) with the applicant as the legal representative of the deceaseds estate. The deceased passed away in June 2021 and had appointed the applicant as the sole executor of his written will hence in September 2021 the High Court issued a grant of probate in his favour being the legal representative of the deceaseds estate. The applicant claimed that he was the proper person in law to substitute the deceased in the instant proceedings and that the substitution was necessary to enable continuation of the petition of appeal to its conclusion.
Issues
What was the effect of failure to identify the proper legal framework while moving the Supreme Court?
Held
- The sources of law that governed proceedings before the court were; the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the Supreme Court Act, the Supreme Court Rules and any Practice Directions made by the court or the Chief Justice. The instant motion was erroneously anchored on the Civil Procedure Rules which were not applicable to proceedings before the court. A court of law had to be moved under the correct provisions of the law; and the failure to identify the proper legal framework rendered a motion, such as the instant one liable to be struck out.
- The court in granting the deceased leave to file the appeal, not only certified but also framed two issues of general public importance arising from the appeal which warranted its consideration. The motion of substitution was lodged within 12 months of the deceaseds demise and the respondents had not filed any response to indicate whether an order of substitution would cause them any prejudice.
