The High Court has upheld the validity of rules governing costs awarded by the Retirement Benefits Appeals Tribunal but ordered a fresh review of a Sh709.19 million costs award against Standard Chartered Bank Kenya.

• Sh709.19 million: The amount of costs awarded by the Tribunal that is being re-assessed.
• Standard Chartered Bank Kenya: The bank challenged the rules and the costs award.
• The court found that while the rules themselves were valid, the bank's constitutional rights were breached in the process of arriving at the specific costs award, necessitating a fresh assessment.
