DELAMERE ESTATE LTD....................................PLAINTIFF

VERSUS

NDUNGU NJAI & 42 OTHERS.....................DEFENDANTS

AND

QUADCO EIGHTY FIVE LIMINTED.................APPLICANT

RULING

In this matter judgment was delivered by Musinga J. on 14/2/2006 that the Defendants had no right to adverse possession and were therefore trespassers. They were to vacate the Land within 10 days or be evicted.

I have noted from the application dated 3rd October 2012 that the plaintiff has written a letter dated 25th May 2012 authorizing Quadco Eight five Limited and assigning then rights to the decree granted in the above mentioned suit.

It is however not possible to assign a decree to another party. What the plaintiff should do even if they have since sold the land is to apply to court for eviction orders against the Defendants. This cannot be done by the new purchasers.

Dated and delivered this   15th Day of March 2013.
