High Court Halts LSK Boycott of Judges Pending Case Hearing
[]
Kenyans.co.ke
The High Court has issued conservatory orders restraining the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) from disrupting court proceedings before judges and judicial officers pending the hearing and determination of a preliminary objection challenging the court's jurisdiction.
Chief Justice Martha Koome during a review of the anti-corruption strategic guiding framework in Nairobi on February 18, 2025.
The society claimed some judges had obtained court orders blocking JSC and EACC investigations into alleged judicial misconduct, prompting the boycott.
Justice Mburu's interim orders now ensure that court proceedings continue uninterrupted while the court determines the preliminary objection on its jurisdiction.
The judge is expected to deliver a ruling in September, a decision that could determine the future of the case and the legality of the LSK's boycott directive.
