Kenyan courts have delivered several key rulings and orders. The High Court in Nairobi overturned a lower court's decision in a trademark case, leading to media personality Willis Raburu losing his Ksh6.5 million infringement suit on the grounds that the magistrate's court lacked jurisdiction. In another matter, the Court of Appeal rejected an appeal by Defence CS Soipan Tuya, upholding a Ksh1 million compensation award to a former KDF soldier for wrongful dismissal.
