The High Court has issued an order halting the payout of the Sh1 million compensation awarded to prominent Nairobi lawyer Donald Kipkorir against Muthaiga Country Club for denying him access to the club.However, Justice Patricia Nyaundi ordered the club to immediately pay Lawyer Kipkorir half of the decretal sum amounting to Sh500,000 within 14 days, while the remaining Sh500,000 is to be deposited in a joint interest-earning account operated by lawyers for both parties pending the outcome of the intended appeal.
"The balance of justice requires an order that preserves the substratum of the appeal without extinguishing Kipkorir 's legitimate expectations under the judgment," Justice Nyaundi ruled.
The dispute arose from Kipkorir's petition challenging what he termed the illegal denial of access to Muthaiga Country Club.
