Supreme Court sets new rules for lawyersLawyers seeking review of court orders will be required to satisfactorily demonstrate that the judges erred. Parties in the review application are to only focus on the decision of the court and not the merit of the main case that led to the judge's decision. PSC wanted to appeal against a decision by appellate judges that reinstated Mr Wambora after impeachment and sought the Supreme Court’s permission to file the case out of time. The commission argued that the delay in challenging Court of Appeal’s decision was as a result of delay in being furnished by typed proceedings. PSC then filed for review by a five judge bench of the Supreme Court, saying the removal of a governor from office is a matter of public interest and the intended appeal was not frivolous.
