Justice Weldon Korir declared that the decision of the Registrar of Companies to direct CCM to change its name, and subsequent deregistration, violated the group’s right to fair administrative action. This is because the registrar failed to give CCM an opportunity to be heard before deregistration. Through a letter dated January 9, 2019, the registrar told CCM to change its name within 14 days or be deregistered because the name was similar to that of LSK. On September 23, the registrar rendered a final decision in favour of LSK. POOR DECISIONCCM moved to court arguing that the registrar violated Section 58 of the Companies Act, 2015.
