Dear Sir/Madam,
We have received instructions from (NAME OF CLIENT) (hereinafter ‘our client’) to address
you as hereunder;
That on or about 10th May 2011 our client was lawfully and diligently walking along the
aforesaid road when your motor vehicle registration NO. KBM 000M owned by you was so
carelessly and/or recklessly driven by your driver/agent/employee/servant that he caused the
same to violently hit our clients as a consequence whereof our client sustained serious injuries on
his face and other parts of the body.
Our further instructions are that the said accident occurred because your
driver/agent/employee/servant who was driving at a high speed swerved off the road so as to
avoid a head on collision with an oncoming vehicle and thereby violently hitting our client by the
side mirror.
Our firm instructions are therefore to demand, as we hereby do, that you admit liability within
FOURTEEN (14) days from the date hereof, failure to which we shall institute legal
proceedings against you, on behalf of our client, without further notice to you in this regard and
at your own peril as to costs and other incidentals arising therefrom.

On or about the 3rd November, 2011 you together with another jointly caused a report to be made
about one Mr. ……………., at Aram Police Station to the effect of inciting members of Public
into violence and that he was planning to mobilize members of public to stone the dispensary,
which report caused the OCS –Aram Police Station to write to our client Summon.
Our client visited the station, was shown the allegation you made against him, of which he
denied and was released for lack of sufficient evidence.
Our instructions are that the report was malicious, unfounded, unlawful and intended to threaten
our client’s liberty and demean his image in the public-domain.

compensation from you, failure in which we have express instructions from our client to
commence a legal suit against you.

LEGAL OPINIONS:
A. FACILITY AGREEMENT
Dear Sirs
Page 43 of 180
We have acted as English legal advisers to the Agent in connection with the Facility Agreement (the
“Agreement”) dated and made between (1)
(as Borrower), [(2) (as Lead Managers),] (3) the Banks as therein
defined and (4) as Agent, whereby the Banks have severally agreed to make
available to the Borrower a loan facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of
on and subject to the terms and conditions therein contained.
Expressions defined in the Agreement have the same respective meanings when used in this opinion.
3. Documents
For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined:

4. Assumptions

4.2 the capacity power and authority of each of the parties (other than the Borrower [and the Initial
Guarantors]) to the Agreement [and any Transfer Certificate];
4.3 the due execution and delivery of the Agreement [and any Transfer Certificate], in compliance with
all requisite corporate authorisations, by each of the parties to it other than the Borrower [and the

the form certified by an officer thereof and delivered as a condition precedent under the Agreement
were true complete and up to date as at the date of the Agreement and the date of this opinion;
4.5 that the resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower [and each Initial Guarantor] certified by
an officer thereof and delivered as a condition precedent under the Agreement were duly passed at
properly convened meetings of duly appointed directors of [the Borrower/each such company] at
which a quorum was present throughout, have not been amended or rescinded and are in full force
and effect;
4.6 that any provisions of the Borrower’s Articles of Association which limit its directors’ authority to
borrow [and any provisions of any Initial Guarantor’s Articles of Association which limit its directors’
authority to guarantee third parties’ obligations] have been, and will be, observed;
4.7 that the list of authorised signatories of the Borrower [and each Initial Guarantor] certified by an
officer thereof and delivered as a condition precedent under the Agreement is correct;
4.8 that [the Borrower has not/neither the Borrower nor any Initial Guarantor has] passed a voluntary

that the exercise of [its/their respective] rights and performance of [ respective] obligations
thereunder will be of material commercial benefit to the Borrower [and, as the case may be, each
of the Initial Guarantors] [and that, immediately after the execution of the Agreement, each Initial
Guarantor was solvent];]
4.10 that the choice of English law to govern the Agreement was made for bona fide purposes;
Page 45 of 180
4.11 that there are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside England which would be
contravened by the execution delivery or performance of the Agreement and that, in so far as any
obligation under the Agreement falls to be performed in any jurisdiction outside England, its
performance will not be illegal or adversely affected by virtue of the laws or regulations of or
applicable in that jurisdiction.
5. Opinion
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the reservations mentioned below and to any
matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:
5.1 the Borrower [ each Initial Guarantor] is a company duly incorporated in England with power to
execute deliver and exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Agreement and such
execution delivery and performance have been duly authorised by appropriate corporate action;
5.2 the Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement under English law;
5.3 the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower [and the Initial Guarantors] of the
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it will not violate any existing laws of England;

governmental or public bodies or authorities of or in England are required in connection with the
execution delivery or performance of the Agreement or for the Agreement to be valid and binding;
5.5 no stamp duty or similar document taxes are payable in England on the Agreement;
5.6 the choice of English law to govern the Agreement is a valid choice of law according to the laws of
England as to conflict of laws [and the submission of the Borrower [and the Initial Guarantors] to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England is a valid submission to that jurisdiction
according to English law].
6. Reservations
Our reservations are as follows:
Page 46 of 180
6.1 We express no opinion as to any law other than English law in force at and as interpreted at the
date of this opinion. We are not qualified to, and we do not, express an opinion on the laws of any
other jurisdiction. [In particular, we have not independently investigated the laws of [specify other
relevant country or state] for the purpose of this opinion or in connection with the Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by it and as to such matters we have relied exclusively on the opinion of
[specify lawyers of relevant jurisdiction].
6.3 The expression “valid and binding” in paragraph 4.2 above means that the obligations expressed to
be assumed under the Agreement are of a type which the English courts will treat as valid and
binding. It does not mean that these obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in
accordance with their terms, as to which reference is made to the other reservations expressed in
this letter.
6.4 We express no opinion as to whether any equitable remedies, and in particular an order for specific
performance or an injunction, would be available in respect of any of the obligations of the
Borrower [ any Initial Guarantor] as set out in the Agreement or whether any specific remedy, other
than monetary damages, would be available.
6.5 The obligations of the Borrower [and each Initial Guarantor] under the Agreement will be subject to
any laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy insolvency liquidation administration
reorganisation or any other laws or other legal or equitable remedies affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors’ rights.
6.6 An English court would not give effect to obligations of the Borrower as set out in Clause [ ] of the
Agreement (Default Interest) providing for the payment by the Borrower of interest on overdue
amounts if the amount expressed as being payable were a penalty or in the nature of a penalty.
6.7 The undertaking and indemnity contained in Clause [ ] of the Agreement (Duties) may be void in
respect of stamp duties payable in the United Kingdom.
6.8 Clause [ ] of the Agreement (concerning partial payments) may not be effective to exclude any
appropriation made by the Borrower.
6.9 We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability in all circumstances of Clause [ of the
Agreement (Sharing Payments).
Page 47 of 180
6.10 Although Clause [ ] of the Agreement (Waivers amendments and consents) contemplates written
waivers or consents, an agreement may be varied amended or discharged by a further agreement
or a collateral agreement which may be effected by an oral agreement or a course of dealing.
6.11 Clause [ ] of the Agreement (Severance) may not be effective under English law.
6.12 Any determination or certificate made or given pursuant to any provision of the Agreement which
provides for such determination or certificate to be final conclusive or binding might be held under
English law not to be final conclusive or binding if such determination or certificate could be shown
to have been incorrect unreasonable or arbitrary or not to have been given or made in good faith.
6.13 Where any obligations are to be performed or observed in a jurisdiction outside England, they may
not be enforceable under English law if and to the extent that such performance or observance
would be unlawful unenforceable or contrary to public policy under the laws of such jurisdiction.
6.14 As regards jurisdiction, an English court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being
brought elsewhere.
6.15 An English court may not give effect to a purported obligation to pay another party’s litigation costs
and may make its own order as to costs.
6.16 Whilst English courts would have power to give judgment expressed as an order to pay a currency
other than pounds sterling and are normally prepared to do so, they may decline to do so in their
discretion and may not enforce the benefit of currency conversion and indemnity clauses.
6.17 Claims may become barred under the Limitation Acts or may be or become subject to defences of
set-off or counterclaim.
6.18 The enforcement of the rights and obligations of the parties to the Agreement may be limited by the
provisions of English law concerning frustration of contracts.
6.19 Without limiting any other assumption or reservation made in this opinion, we have not investigated
whether the Borrower [and any Initial Guarantor] is or will by reason of the execution of, or the
transactions contemplated by, the Agreement or any document referred to in the Agreement be in
breach of any of its obligations under any licence authorisation consent agreement or document.
Page 48 of 180
6.20 We express no opinion as to the tax treatment or consequences of the Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by it.
This opinion is given to [name of Agent] for the sole benefit of itself and the Banks [ party to the
Agreement and for the purpose of the Agreement. [It is given on condition that it is governed by and
shall be construed in accordance with English law and that any action arising out of it is subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.] It may not be delivered to nor relied upon by any other
person or for any other purpose nor is it to be quoted or referred to in any document or filed with any
person, except in any case with our prior written consent.
Yours faithfully

9. Opinion

execute deliver and exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Agreement and such execution
delivery and performance have been duly authorised by appropriate corporate action;

9.6 the choice of English law to govern the Agreement is a valid choice of law according to the laws of

exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England is a valid submission to that jurisdiction according to English
law].
9.7 Subject to timely registration where required, the [Security] creates a security interest over the
property assets and rights [OR: specific property] owned by [the Borrower] at the date of execution and
delivery of the Charge and expressed to be mortgaged or charged by it.
10. Reservations
Our reservations are as follows:
10.1 We express no opinion as to any law other than English law in force at and as interpreted at the
date of this opinion. We are not qualified to, and we do not, express an opinion on the laws of any other
jurisdiction. [In particular, we have not independently investigated the laws of [specify other relevant country
or state] for the purpose of this opinion or in connection with the Agreement or the transactions

Page 52 of 180
10.3 The expression “valid and binding” in paragraph 4.2 above means that the obligations expressed to
be assumed under the Agreement are of a type which the English courts will treat as valid and binding. It
does not mean that these obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with
their terms, as to which reference is made to the other reservations expressed in this letter.
10.4 We express no opinion as to whether any equitable remedies, and in particular an order for specific

Page 53 of 180
10.13 Where any obligations are to be performed or observed in a jurisdiction outside England, they may
not be enforceable under English law if and to the extent that such performance or observance would be
unlawful unenforceable or contrary to public policy under the laws of such jurisdiction.

10.17 Claims may become barred under the Limitation Acts or may be or become subject to defences of
set-off or counterclaim.
10.18 The enforcement of the rights and obligations of the parties to the Agreement may be limited by the
provisions of English law concerning frustration of contracts.
10.19 Without limiting any other assumption or reservation made in this opinion, we have not investigated
whether the Borrower [and any Initial Guarantor] is or will by reason of the execution of, or the transactions
contemplated by, the Agreement or any document referred to in the Agreement be in breach of any of its
obligations under any licence authorisation consent agreement or document.
10.20 We express no opinion as to the tax treatment or consequences of the Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by it.
10.21 It is beyond the scope of this opinion to deal comprehensively with matters concerning property
assets and rights expressed to be subject to the Charge and priority nature registration and enforcement of
the Charge and its effectiveness in all circumstances. In particularly, we express no opinion in this letter as
to any of the following matters:
10.21.1 The existence of, or the title of [the Borrower] to, or the marketability or value of, any of the
property assets or rights expressed to be subject to the Charge;
Page 54 of 180
10.21.2 the priority of any security or whether any property assets or rights expressed to be subject
to the Charge are or may become subject tot any equities rights or interests in favour of
any other person, in priority to the Charge or otherwise;
10.21.3 whether the Charge creates effective security in respect of any property assets or rights
outside Wales and England;
10.21.4 whether the Charge creates effective security in respect of cash or credit balances of [the
Borrower] with [the Bank/any of the Banks];
10.21.5 the nature of the security created by the Charge, whether fixed or floating (and in particular
charges may only take effect as floating charges);
10.21.6 whether statutory preferences, fixed charges, liens, preferential creditors, title retention
arrangements or priorities arising by operation of law may effectively rank ahead of the
Charge or certain provisions of ot;
10.21.7 whether [the Borrower] is solvent immediately following creation of the Charge and
whether the Charge is or may at any time prove to have been created at a relevant time
prior to the presentation of a petition for an administration order in relation to, or the
commencement of the winding up of, [the Borrower] so that it may be void or voidable or
otherwise affected by any order of a court under any insolvency laws;
10.21.8 whether the floating charge comprised in the Charge is or may at any time prove to be
wholly or partly invalid as having been created at a relevant time prior to the presentation
of a petition for an administration order in relation to, or a commencement of the winding-
up of [the Borrower].
10.22 The Insolvency Act 1986 prohibits certain steps being taken except with the leave of the court (or,
where an administration order is in force, the administrator) against a company after the presentation of a
petition for an administration order. This prohibition continues if an administration order is made for so long
as it is in force. Prohibited steps include steps taken to enforce any security over the company’s property,
the commencement or continuation of proceedings or execution or other legal process or the levying of
distress against the company or its property and, where an administration order is in force, the appointment
of an administrative receiver.
10.23 Where the Charge is expressed to create security over debts owing from, or contractual or other
rights against, third parties, these are subject to the rights of the third parties concerned and may be invalid
if the terms of such debts or rights do not permit them to be charged or assigned.
Page 55 of 180
10.24 A floating charge is more vulnerable than a fixed charge both to being set aside in a liquidation or
administration and to losing its priority to other rights and interests. A floating charge will take effect subject
to third party concerned (including rights of set-off) unless the third party concerned had express notice that
a term in the Charge prohibited the type of transaction to which that person is a party or that the floating
charge will also take effect subject to any execution or attachment completed before crystallization and to
any distress levied before crystallization. An administrator has wider powers to sell assets subject to a
floating charge than assets subject to a fixed charge.
10.25 The enforcement of security interests is subject to certain rules of law; for example, a person who
holds a charge over property cannot sell the property to himself and owes a duty to take reasonable care to
realise the property for a proper price.
10.26 We express no opinion as to whether [the Borrower] is in compliance with United Kingdom or
European Union requirements concerning safety at work, protection of the environment or similar matters
or as to any potential liability of [the Bank/any of the Banks/ any security trustee for the Banks] as
mortgagees for any loss or damage resulting from or arising out of the failure by [the Borrower] to comply
with any such requirements.
This opinion is given to [name of Agent] for the sole benefit of itself and the Banks [ party to the
Agreement and for the purpose of the Agreement. [It is given on condition that it is governed by and
shall be construed in accordance with English law and that any action arising out of it is subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.] It may not be delivered to nor relied upon by any other
person or for any other purpose nor is it to be quoted or referred to in any document or filed with any
person, except in any case with our prior written consent.

5. Pursuant thereto, in or about the week of 25th October, 1996, the 2nd and 3rd
Defendants together with NNNNNNN aforesaid visited the premises of the
Plaintiff at LLe Building, Moi Avenue Nairobi, wherein the following matters

Page 62 of 180

bottom of the said Guarantee in the honest but mistaken belief that they were
appending their signatures at the requisite places of the General Terms and
Conditions.
h) In the foregoing circumstances, the 2nd and 3rd Defendants aver that the
execution of the said guarantee is not their deed and accordingly invoke and
rely on the principle of non es facto for its full meaning term and effect.
i) Further, the Defendants aver that as no credit facilities had been negotiated or
agreed upon at the material time, the 2 nd and 3rd Defendants and NNNN
D.NNNN had not and could not possibly have executed the said Guarantee.
[j)] In view of the foregoing, the 2 nd and 3rd Defendants, respectively, aver
that the execution of the said gGuarantee instead to of the General Terms and
Conditions was not their deed as the same was as consequence of a
mutual mistake of fact between Mr. Ajay Shah on behalf of the Plaintiff on the
one hand and the 2nd and 3rd Defendants and NNNN D.NNNN on behalf of
the 1st Defendant on the other hand. In any event, the Defendants aver as
follows:-
j)
[k)] i) On 19th November, 1996 the Plaintiff wrote to the 2 nd and 3rd
Defendant and the said NNNN D.NNNN requesting them to execute
alleged Personal Guarantees which had never been received by either
the 2nd or 3rd Defendant and/or the said NNNN D.NNNN. The
Plaintiff further sent reminders on 6 th March 1997 and 7th April 1997
requstingrequesting them to execute the same. At this point, the 3 rd
Defendant spoke to the Plaintiff's then Manager Mr. Vinod Chaudry
on telephone and informed him that the alleged Personal Guarantees
Page 63 of 180
had never been received by any of the Directors of the 1 st Defendant.
Accordingly, d.
. uring same telephone conversation, the said Mr. Vinod Chaudry
agreed to resend the said Personal Guarantees.

Page 64 of 180
Shah representing the Plaintiff and the 2nd and 3rd Defendants and Nello D. Francesco
representing the 1st Defendant.
[v)] n) Accordingly, iIn mid September 1997, the said Mr. Vinod Chaudry called
the 3rd Defendant requesting me her to forward the duly executed
documents as outlined in 5(j) (iii) (l)above. However, as the said
documents had not been executed, the 3 rd Defendant informed the said
Mr. Vinod Chaudry that she was not in a position to forward the
same.Further, during the said telephone conversation, the 3 rd Defendant
instructed the said Mr. Vinod Chaudry to utilise the cash security by
reflecting it in the current account to bring down the then outstanding
overdraft.
vii) The Defendants aver that to date, neither the duly executed
Guarantees nor the aforesaid documents have ever been forwarded
to the Plaintiff.
Accordingly, the Defendants shall at the hearing of this suit, crave the leave of the
Honourable Court to refer to and rely on the relevant correspondence emanating from
the Plaintiff and calling for the duly executedPersonal Guarantees from , inter alia,
the 2nd and 3rd Defendants, including its letters dated 25th October, 1996, 6th March
1997, 7th April 1997, 21st August 1997 and 28th November, 1997 respectively, as well as

any of the allegedPersonal Guarantees dated 13th December 1996 in

and therefore not binding on the Plaintiff, by failing to comply with section 74 of

required and the same is therefore invalid ab initio and cannot be enforced in law.

paragraph 8 of the Defence or at all and puts the Defendant to strict proof thereof.
DEFENCE TO COUNTER-CLAIM
9. The contents of paragraph 12 of the Defence are denied in toto and the Defendant put to strict
proof thereof. In further response thereto, the Plaintiff avers as follows:-
a) The purported lending having been done in blatant disregard of the Banking Act Cap.
488 of the Laws of Kenya and the Central Bank Act , the same has no legal basis and
all interests charged thereby are illegal and unenforceable at all.
b) In any event the Plaintiff has paid back over and above the monies that were allegedly
extended to him in disguise of a loan facility in the sum of Kshs 850,000.00.
c) The alleged loan agreement and subsequent charge on the suit property are invalid as
they were procured under undue influence and misrepresentation of facts as
particularised in paragraph 5 of the Plaint and the same are therefore illegal and
unenforceable in law.
d) In view of the foregoing, the Plaintiff does not owe the Defendant Kshs 4,026,033 as
alleged or at all and puts the Defendant to strict proof thereof.
Page 87 of 180
10. The Plaintiff therefore puts Defendant to strict proof of their Defence and Counter-
claim and prays that it be struck out with costs as it is hopelessly incompetent, and
judgement be entered against the Defendant as prayed for in the Plaint.

transaction entered into within the confines of the law and facilitated by
the Plaintiff's wholly owned subsidiary namely, ,,,,,, Capital Limited, a
duly registered Company under the Companies Act Cap. 486 of the
Laws of Kenya and therefore no legal stipulations were violated thereby
as alleged or at all.
Page 89 of 180

the 1st Defendant one Eugenio Luigi Francescon, the 3 rd Defendant
herein, who was then a Director of the Plaintiff's wholly owned
subsidiary company, ,,,,,, Capital Limited aforesaid.

respective parties who thereby, with full knowledge and authority,
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the repayment of all moneys and

further guaranteed that in the event of the 1st Defendant defaulting in
repayment, the 2nd 3rd and 4th Defendants, respectively, would pay the amount
thereof to the Plaintiff.
b) It was on the strength of the said charges, debentures and Promissory Notes
that the Plaintiff, at the request of the 1st Defendant, extended and disbursed the
loan facility of US$ 60,000 to the 1st Defendant.
Page 90 of 180
4. In view of paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the contents of paragraph 4 of the Defence
are denied in and the 1st Defendant put to strict proof therefore. It is specifically
denied that this suit is misconceived, bad in law or an abuse of the Court process,
as alleged or at all. To the contrary, it is manifest that the Plaintiff has proper and
maintainable claims against the Defendants, jointly and severally.
a) The 1st Defendant voluntarily and with full knowledge and consent, without
any misrepresentation or fraud whatsoever on the part of the Plaintiff as
alleged or at all, duly executed a Floating Charge Debenture which was
registered on 20th August 1998, a Corporate Guarantee dated 5 th August
1998 and a Promissory Note, to secure repayment of loan facility extended
to the 1st Defendant by the Plaintiff.
b) The Promissory Note was and still is for all purposes lawful and
enforceable as the same was duly executed by the 1 st Defendant and the
Plaintiff's Attorney one ,,,,,, Gitau who had and still has a special power of
Attorney authorising him to execute Promissory Notes on behalf of the
Plaintiff in Kenya.
Page 91 of 180
c) In consideration and on the strength of the said Promissory Note and
Debenture duly executed by the 1 st Defendant, the Plaintiff duly extended
and disbursed the loan facility of US$ 60,000 to the 1st Defendant.
d) The loan facility herein was rolled over three times upon requests from the
1st Defendant due to its inability to repay at the maturity of each rollover.
The said requests were made and acceded to by the Plaintiff, with the full
knowledge and consent of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Defendants being the
Guarantors thereto.
f) The Plaintiff did not retain any part of the said facility to finance a purchase
of a Mercedes Benz Motor Vehicle from itself, as this was a separate and
distinct transaction entered into between the 1 st Defendant and the Plaintiff's
said subsidiary ,,,,,, Capital Limited and at no one time did the 1st Defendant
intimate to the Plaintiff that part of the facility was to be expended on the
purchase of the said vehicle as alleged or at all.
g) The interest thereon together with the commitment fees have been
calculated at the mutually agreed rates of 27% per annum and 1% flat rate,
respectively, and there has been no interest overcharge as alleged or at all.
h) The Plaintiff has never offered any kind of advice whatsoever tothe 1 st
Defendant as alleged or at all. In any event, the Plaintiff, not being an
Page 92 of 180
expert in marble and/or granite, or in any matters connected therewith, was
in no position to give and did not in fact give, any kind of advice, expertise
or otherwise, in relation thereto.
i) Further, and without prejudice to the foregoing, any such matters as were
discussed between the 1st Defendant and Sandro Francini in connection
with the said marble and/or granite or any other business in general
including the alleged ten year contract between the 1 st Defendant and East
African Portland Cement Company Limited, if at all, were so discussed on
a purely personal, friendly and informal basis and at no time whatsoever did
Sandro Francini offer "advice" to 1st Defendant on behalf of the Plaintiff as
alleged or at all.
j) The two facilities extended to the 1 st Defendant on 5th August 1998 and 23rd
February 1999, respectively, were separate and distinct transactions entered
into between the 1st Defendant and the Plaintiff. The second facility was not
extended to the 1st Defendant to enable it repay the 1st facility as alleged or
at all.
k) Due to the 1st Defendant's failure to discharge its obligations pursuant to the
said Floating Charge Debenture and Promissory Note respectively, the
Plaintiff issued a demand notice on 7 th August 2000 for the repayment of
the amount due and owing then, as by law required.
l) It is denied that the Plaintiff induced the 1st Defendant with any
misrepresentation, illegality or fraud as alleged or at all. The 1 st Defendant
is put to strict proof thereof. Further, the Plaintiff repeats that the various
securities given by the 1st Defendant to the Plaintiff were given freely,
Page 93 of 180
voluntarily in consideration whereof funds were duly disbursed to the 1 st
Defendant.
m) It is denied that there is any conflict of interest between the Plaintiff and
Sandro Francini as alleged or at all. The 1 st Defendant is put to strict proof
thereof. Further, the Plaintiff repeats paragraph 6 (e) hereinabove.
n) Any such monies as were paid by the 1 st Defendant to the Plaintiff were
paid on account of interest on the loan facility and not the principal amount.
It is denied that any funds were paid by the 1 st Defendant to Sandro
Francini to the account of the Plaintiff. The 1 st Defendant is put to strict
proof thereof. In any event, if any payment was made to Sandro Francini to
the account of the Plaintiff, which is denied, the 1 st Defendant had no basis
or warrant for making such payment and would accordingly be still held
liable in respect thereof.
7. In response to paragraph 12 of the Defence the Plaintiff avers that the scheduled
repayments therein were made on account of interest only. No repayment has been
made on account of the principal amount as alleged or at all. Consequently, the 1 st
Defendant is truly and justly indebted to the Plaintiff as pleaded in the Plaint.
Page 94 of 180
9. In response to paragraphs 15 and 16 the Plaintiff avers that the Counter-claim in
Nairobi HCCC No. 1115 of 2001 is in respect of the outstanding balance on the
facility extended to the 1st Defendant by the Plaintiff on 23rd February 1999 and
not in respect of the facility granted on 5 th August 1998 which is the subject matter
of this suit. As such the Plaintiff is well within its rights to institute this suit to
recover the debt outstanding on the latter facility.
10. In response to paragraphs 17 of the Defence the Plaintiff reiterates the entire
contents of paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereinabove.

contents of paragraph 7 hereinabove and paragraphs 11 and 16 of the Plaint.

agents not being experts in marble and/or granite, or in any matters connected
therewith, were in no position to give any kind of advice, expertise or otherwise,
in relation thereto as alleged or at all.
18. In answer to paragraphs 28, 29,30, 31,32 33, 34 and 35 of the Counterclaim:-

agent of the Plaintiff as alleged or at all. The 1 st Defendant is put to strict proof

from discussions between the Defendant and the Plaintiff’s officers. In so far as it was
by conduct, the said Agreement was inferred from the conduct of the parties whereby
the Defendant supplied to the Plaintiff, various goods for onward distribution by
the Plaintiff.
5. In response to paragraph 7 of the said Defence, the Plaintiff avers that at all
material times, the Plaintiff has always been and still is, a company with sufficient
infrastructure and capacity to carry out distribution. In that regard, the Plaintiff avers
that it is and has been for a long time, one of the major distributors of, inter
alia, ,,,,,,,, & ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,’s Kenya Limited, ,,,,,,,, Wax and Firestone East Africa, 1969
Limited.
6. In response to paragraph 8 of the said Defence, the Plaintiff reiterates the entire
contents of paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Plaint and further avers as follows:-
Page 99 of 180
due recognition of the agreed credit limit, it was not until mid 2000, that
the Defendant made a demand to the Plaintiff for purportedly
exceeding the alleged credit limit of USD 300,000.00.
Accordingly, at the hearing of this suit, the Plaintiff shall crave the leave of this Honourable
Court to refer to and rely on, inter alia, the Statements of Accounts issued to the Plaintiff
by the Defendant which clearly show that the Defendant allowed the Plaintiff a credit limit
of USD 900,000.00 as agreed.
iv) The Plaintiff avers that it was an express and/or implied term of
the said Agreement that all the payments in respect of goods supplied
to the Plaintiff by the Defendant would be subject to a 90 - day credit
limit. This therefore obviated the need to carry out the distributorship
business on a cash basis. In any event, the aforesaid Statements of
Accounts clearly show that the Plaintiff was given a 90 day credit
limit by the Defendant within which to redeem its account in respect
of each particular transaction.
v) The Plaintiff reiterates the contents of paragraph 4(v) of the Plaint in
response to paragraph 8 (v) of the said Defence. In further response
thereto, the Plaintiff avers that pursuant to the said Agreement, all
credit notes were at all material times approved by the Uganda
Country Sales Manager, George ,,,,,,,,, who was the immediate
supervisor of the Plaintiff’s distributorship on behalf of the
Defendant. Accordingly, the Defendant’s allegation in paragraph 8 (v)
of the said Defence is therefore untrue and totally without basis.
vi) The Plaintiff avers that the Defendant failed to maintain true and
proper accounts in respect of its transactions with the Plaintiff hence
the numerous verbal and written demands by the Plaintiff to the
Defendant to reconcile and rectify the said accounts so that the same
were a true reflection of the said transactions between the parties. It is
in that regard that a meeting was subsequently held between the
Plaintiff and the Defendant in Mombasa on 10th February, 2000.
10. In response to paragraphs 11 and 12 of the said Defence, the Plaintiff reiterates the
entire contents of paragraph 7 of the Plaint. In further response thereto, the Plaintiff
avers that the factors set out in paragraph 12 of the said Defence, merely
aggravated the Defendant’s said breaches which were in any event, the major
cause of the Plaintiff’s failure to meet its set targets.
11. In response to paragraph 13 of the said Defence, the Plaintiff reiterates the entire
contents of paragraph 7 of the Plaint and further avers as follows:-
a) That despite numerous requests by the Plaintiff to the Defendant to post
credit to the Plaintiff’s accounts, verbally and in writing, the Defendant
failed to post to the Plaintiff’s accounts, the said outstanding credit notes
resulting in un - reconciled accounts not indicative of the true situation of
the Plaintiffs transaction with the Defendant as they then were.
b) That the Plaintiff is truly and justly entitled to the posting of the said credit
notes in view of the fact that it is the Defendant’s sales officers, Messrs.
Tom ,,,,,,,, and Charles ,,,,,,,, together with the Defendant’s Uganda Country
Sales Manager aforesaid, Mr. George ,,,,,,,,, who collected without
25. Save and except what is expressly or impliedly admitted herein, the Plaintiff denies
each and every allegation contained in the Counter-claim as if the same were set
out and traversed seriatim.
26. The Plaintiff reiterates all the foregoing averments in defence of the Counter-claim
herein as well as all the averments made in the Plaint and further states as follows:-
27. That due credit of the alleged sum of USD 85,929.93 claimed by the Defendant as
against the Plaintiff has already been given to the Defendant as more particularly
set out in paragraph 15 (j) of the Plaint
28. Accordingly, the Plaintiff hereby seeks to set off the aforesaid sum of USD
85,929.93 against such part of the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant as is

MEMORANDUM OF APPEAL
1. The Learned Judge erred in fact in finding that the predominant purpose
behind the institution of Criminal proceedings on 1 st February, 2000 against
the Applicants/Respondents (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the
Respondents”) was to put pressure on them to pay the claims of NN and to
prevent them from continuing with their civil suits.
2. The Learned Judge erred in fact in making a finding that the Attorney General
did not exercise the power enshrined in section 26 of the constitution in a
quasi-judicial manner.
3. The Learned Judge erred in law and in fact in making a declaration that the
institution and maintenance of the Chief Magistrates Nairobi Criminal Case No.
,,,,, of 2000 against MMMM and PPP on 2 nd February 200….. upon the
complaint of NNN Kenya Limited was and is for the purposes of exerting
pressure on the applicants/ respondents to pay NN Kenya Limited a sum of
K.Shs 99,563,416/= which is disputed by them.
4. The Learned Judge erred in law and in fact in making a declaration that the
institution, prosecution and maintenance of the aforesaid criminal case is an
abuse of the criminal process of the Court and is arbitrary and a contravention
of the said applicants’ rights under section 82 of the constitution.
7. The Learned Judge erred in fact by upholding Mrs. MM evidence that the
terms of payment between the parties was “Cash on delivery” despite the
evidence of Mr. KKK both oral and by way of affidavit that the terms of trade
was “Cash on order”.
8. Having accepted the evidence of Mrs MMM that she stopped the payments of
the subject cheques “believing that NN would come around to give her a full
account of money owed by both parties”, the Learned Judge erred in fact in
failing to find that the Respondents had in fact lifted products for the value of
the said cheques that she had stopped and that she had continued to do so
even after she knew that she had stopped payment of said cheques a fact
unknown to the 2nd Respondent/Applicant.
10.The Learned Judge failed in the circumstances that the Appellant must have
relied on the said Cheques as value for money before it authorised the release
of its products to the Respondents from its depot.
11.The Learned Judge erred in fact in failing to find that if in fact the evidence of
Mrs MMM was to be believed i.e, that the terms of trade was “cash on order”,
then it was not necessary for her to leave blank signed cheques with the
Appellant as opposed to going with the said cheques to the Appellants offices
and writing out a cheque for the value of the products collected every day.
12.The Learned Judge erred in fact in failing to make a finding that if indeed the
MMM had no knowledge of the other three cheques which they claimed were
fraudulently filled in by the Appellant, they have never made a formal
complaint to the Police in respect of the alleged fraud.
13.By satisfying herself that the subject matters of the counter-claim filed by the
Appellant in the civil suit filed by the Respondents is the same which are used
in the charge sheet of the criminal proceedings, the Learned Judge failed to
14.The Learned Judge failed to appreciate that the suit having been commenced
by the Respondents, the Appellant was compelled in the circumstances and
therefore obliged to file not only a Defence but also a Counterclaim within the
time prescribed by the civil procedure rules and to include the amounts of the
subject cheques for which by the Appellants had by their own admission,
collected products for the value thereof.
15.In the circumstances, the Learned Judge erred in fact in finding that the filing
of the Civil suits by the Respondents definitely hampered the Appellant from
realizing its claim from the Respondents suggesting that the Appellants
resorted to exerting pressure on the Respondents to pay the amounts due to it
by the Respondent.
16.That the Learned Judge erred in fact in failing to appreciate that the fact that
the Appellant had filed a counter-claim which included the value of the subject
five cheques did not in any way change the manner in which NN came to be
owed the amounts thereof by the Respondents.
17.Having made a finding that the Investigating Officer did not properly
investigate the case, the Learned Judge erred in Law in ordering that only NN
18.In view of the circumstances set out herein above, the Learned Judge totally
misdirected herself in delivering Judgement in favour of the Respondents by
failing to consider and appreciate the evidence on record tendered on behalf
of the Appellant.
The Appeal be allowed and a declaration be made to the extent that the
Appellant properly made a complaint to the police on 7 th ,,,,,,,, 1999 believing that
an offence had been committed against it in the period between 12 TH and 15TH
September 199….
In the result the orders made by the Learned Judge be set aside.
The costs of the Appeal be granted to the Appellant against the Respondent.

specifically proved as is required by law.

notice on wrong considerations.

failed to prove that he had mitigated his loss as is required in the particular
circumstances of this case.
7. The Learned Judge erred in fact by failing to take into account and to
consider the evidence adduced on behalf of the Appellant.
9. The Learned Judge erred in law and fact by failing to award the Appellant
