MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL APPLICATION NO.  813  OF 2014

TENGO W. MADARA  & COMPANY ADVOCATES………….......….APPLICANT

VECTOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED  ………………………………….RESPONDENT

RULING

By an application  dated 8th September 2015  brought under  the provisions of Section  51(1) and (2)  of  the Advocates Act  Cap 16 Laws  of Kenya, the advocate seeks for  judgment  for costs  as taxed  in the sum of kshs 621,793.  The application is unopposed.

There is no evidence  of any challenge  to the certificate  of taxation  dated 19th August  2015 and neither  is  there challenge  as to retainer  by way of  a reference  or otherwise.

In the premise, I see no reason why I should not grant the application.

Accordingly, I enter judgment in favour of the advocate/applicant against the client/respondent in the sum of kshs 621,793 together  with interest  at 14 %  per annum  from the date   of taxation until  payment in full.   A decree to issue to that effect.

There shall be no orders as to costs of this application.

Orders accordingly.
