RE Aburili, J

November 17, 2022

Between

Mauwa & Company Associates

Applicant

and

Paul Nyamiobo

Respondent

(Arising from Kisumu Chief Magistrate Civil Suit No 314 of 2019)

Ruling

1. The advocate/client bill of costs was taxed on May 13, 2021. There is no reference filed challenging the said taxed costs. The applicant/advocate seeks for adoption of the certificate of taxation as judgment of this court and for decree to issue.

2. I find no reason for delaying the matter as the applicant upon obtaining decree shall be required to serve the same upon the respondent seeking for settlement.

3. I allow the application dated June 21, 2021 and enter judgment in favour of the applicant/advocate in terms of the certificate of taxation dated May 13, 2021 in the sum of Kshs 164,168/= and order that decree for the said sum do issue forthwith.

4. Each party shall bear their own costs of this application.

5. Matter closed save for execution. However, the applicant is required to serve the respondent with decree and certificate of costs demanding for settlement before enforcement.

6. I so order.
