1/3 “These trusts amount to a lawful limitation of the right to property under Article 40 of the Constitution as read with Article 24 particularly where a party has engaged in unconscionable conduct or has been unjustly enriched.”

🚨🚨The 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 in 𝐀𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐡 & 𝟕 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐯 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 & 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 & 𝟓 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 [𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑] 𝐊𝐄𝐒𝐂 𝟏𝟎𝟔 (𝐊𝐋𝐑) (𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨. 𝟏𝟖 (𝐄𝟎𝟐𝟎) 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐) held that a constructive trust can be imported into a land sale agreement so as to defeat a registered title and that a constructive trust can equally be imported into the shareholding of a company to disentitle a registered shareholder who obtained shares for valuable consideration.The Court affirmed that the doctrines of equity form part of Kenyan law under Section 3(1) of the Judicature Act and that constructive trusts are overriding interests under Sections 25, 26 and 28 of the Land Registration Act.

These trusts amount to a lawful limitation of the right to property under Article 40 of the Constitution as read with Article 24 particularly where a party has engaged in unconscionable conduct or has been unjustly enriched. On the company-law aspect, the Court held that Section 104 of the Companies Act (which prohibits the entry of any notice of a trust on the register of members) does not outlaw trust arrangements themselves or prevent a court from imposing a constructive trust over shares. Shares constitute property under Article 260 of the Constitution and equity may intervene to prevent a registered holder from retaining benefits acquired through breach of fiduciary duty or unjust enrichment.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and ordered each party to bear its own costs thereby settling these questions of general public importance and reinforcing that formal registration of land or shares cannot shield unconscionable conduct from equitable scrutiny.

Just watched the sentencing remarks for Russell Brand.

In our system he could appeal his conviction, he could also accept his conviction but appeal the sentence. Based on the decision given I'd say he would have little prospect of success if he did so. The judge was scrupulous.
