Commissioners for Oaths & Notaries Public
A public body or state organ is not required to have a title for the land it was using or occupying to prove ownership of the same – KALRO v. County Government of Kitui (2019)eKLR available at http://www.kenyalaw.org/caselaw/cases/view/172990/
OCHIENG OCHIENG ADVOCATES represented the Petitioner
COPYRIGHT – KENYA
The incidental inclusion of an artistic work in a film or broadcast is not an infringment of a copyright, confirms the Kenya Court of Appeal. The Court explains that ‘incidental’ inclusion means ‘casual, inessential, surbordinate or merely forming a background. In considering this defence, the intention of the defendant in using the copyrighted work is irrelevant. Such incidental inclusion is mere fair dealing that is not actionable. See Nairobi Map Services Limited v. Airtel Networking Kenya Limited & 2 Others (2019) eKLR
