JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

This is an appeal against the Ruling of the Superior Court (Nambuye, J) delivered on 30th June, 1998 whereby she set aside the ex parte judgment and gave leave to the respondent to defend or file defence on condition. This was clearly in exercise of her discretionary powers. We have not been persuaded that the learned judge in the exercise of her discretionary power committed any error in principle or otherwise. If anything, it is conceded that no prejudice would be occasioned by the order of the learned Judge. All in all we are not satisfied that this matter calls for any interference from this Court on the facts of this case.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed but with no order as to costs.

Dated and delivered at Nakuru this 22nd day of September, 1999.
