RULING

The matter for determination is the bill of cost dated 4.2.19 by the Respondent. The same is opposed vide the Reply of the claimant filed on 12.7.2019.

We have carefully considered both and the submissions therein. For item one, we note the prayers sought for in the statement of the claim and that the suit was dismissed.

The Respondent  successfully  defended  the matter, and  owing  to the nature  of the prayers  sought, we find  that the  matter  involved complex issues  and the claim  is not ascertainable. I find that an amount of Kshs. 50,000/= is reasonable for item 1.

The Respondent was ordered to pay costs of Kshs.3100/= on 20.7.17 and Tribunal Adjournment Fees (TAF) and the same are reduced from the taxed amount.

Total amount taxed in regard to the Bill of Costs is Kshs. 53,600/=.
