ELIYAH JINYUA BARIU....................................................................RESPONDENT

SEBERINA KAARIO KARUTI..............................................................APPLICANT

RULING

Vide a notice of motion dated 24.2. 2015, the applicant is seeking orders to be appointed as the legal representative of the 3^rd plaintiff, Samuel Karuti M’Muceke (deceased). The applicant has availed a copy of the limited grant. I therefore find that the application is merited and the same is allowed with no orders as to costs. However, this case is old and I direct that the same be heard on priority basis. 

 DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT MERU THIS 14^TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2020

ORDER

The date of delivery of this Ruling was given via a notice dated 7.12.2020.  In light of the declaration of measures restricting court operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and following the practice directions issued by his Lordship, the Chief Justice dated 17^th March, 2020 and published in the Kenya Gazette of 17^th April 2020 as Gazette Notice no.3137, this Ruling has been delivered to the parties by electronic mail.  They are deemed to have waived compliance with order 21 rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules which requires that all judgments and rulings be pronounced in open court.
