Oil marketer Vivo Energy Ltd has received a court’s nod to commence legal proceedings seeking to compel the National Land Commission (NLC) pay a sum of Sh724,000 being legal costs of an old land case.
The firm was awarded the costs after winning in a case where it had sued NLC for revoking its title for a parcel of land in Riruta, Dagorreti Nairobi.
In the judgement dated February 18, 2015 justice George Odunga overturned NLC’s decision to cancel the company’s title for a plot occupied by Riruta Shell Station.
When restoring the title to the energy dealer, justice Odunga said NLC made a recommendation for revocation without affording the company a right of hearing.
