RULING OF THE COURT

The second page of the Chamber Summons filed by the Respondent to strike out the Appellant's suit in the superior court, is part of the pleadings in the suit in that court and as such, it is not one of those documents which, when omitted from the record of appeal as in this case, may under Rule 85(2A), with leave of this court, be included in a supplementary record of appeal. The documents referred to in Rule 85(2A) are only those that fall under paragraphs (a), (b), (e), (i), or (k) of Rule 85(1) which does not include pleadings that are referred to in paragraph (c) of Rule 85(1).
 
In the result, the present appeal is incompetent no matter whether the Respondent does not object just to the filling of a supplementary record of appeal to incorporate the missing page of the Chamber Summons. The appeal is hereby struck out, but obviously with no costs for the Respondent.

Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 19th day of February, 2001.
