APPEAL AND

REVIEW
An appeal is a judicial
examination by the higher court
of the decision of a lower court.
An appeal from a subordinate
court to the High Court shall be
filed within 30 days from the
date of the decree or order
appealed against, excluding
from such period any time
which the
lower court may certify as
having been requisite for the
preparation and delivery to the
appellant of a copy of the
decree or order. An appeal may
be admitted out of time if the
appellant satisfies the court that
he had good and sufficient
cause for not filing the appeal
in
time.
Under Kenyan law, there is no
automatic right of appeal. The
right of appeal only arises
where
it is expressly allowed by a
statute or by some other
authority. Every decree can be
appealed
from but not every order can be
appealed from.
Order 43 Rule 1 of the Civil
Procedure Rules together with
Section 75 of the Civil
Procedure
Act provide a list of orders that
can be appealed from
automatically. For any other
order
made by a court, the aggrieved
party has to seek leave from the
court before appealing. An
application for leave to Appeal
should be made to the court
which made the order that is
being sought to be appealed
against. It should be made by
Chamber Summons or orally in
court at the time of making the
order.
Such an appeal can only be
filed by: -
1. Any party to the suit who is
adversely affected by the
decree
2. The legal representative of
an adversely affected party to a
suit, where such party has
died
3. Any transferee of the
interest of an adversely affected
party who is bound to the
decree
4. Any auction-purchaser may
appeal from an order in
execution setting aside the sale
on
the ground of fraud
Under Section 65 of the Civil
Procedure Act, an appeal can be
filed from any decree issued by
any subordinate court. An
appeal from a subordinate court
is filed at the high court. Such
an
appeal can be made on
questions of both law and fact.
A plaintiff who is successful on
all his claims does not have a
right of appeal. However, when
a plaintiff is successful but is
awarded a lesser amount than
the amount her was seeking for
in his plaint, then he can appeal
for the balance between the
claim and the award.
Under Section 75 of the Civil
Procedure Act, an appeal to the
High Court can be filed from
the
following orders if issued by
any subordinate court: -
1. Order superseding an
arbitration where the award has
not been completed within the
period allowed by the court
2. Order on an award stated in
the form of a special case
3. Order modifying or
correcting an award
4. Order staying or refusing to
