The High Court has declined to strike out pleadings filed by a local contractor's lawyer who practised without a valid practising certificate in litigation linked to British multinational Diageo's planned Sh303 billion sale of its entire 65 percent stake in East African Breweries Plc (EABL).
At the same time, the court rejected contractor Jilk Construction Ltd's bid to disqualify its former advocate, Mohammed Muigai LLP, from representing EABL over alleged conflict of interest in the dispute.
