KCC 699/2012

This case involved whether it was possible for a tenant to use a former shop as a restaurant.

Background

The documents of the case revealed that the court dismissed the decision made by the local council by which it dismissed a previous decision that approved the litigant's renting of a shop to use as a restaurant

Decision

The court said that the court established its ruling on the grounds that the landlord made a frivolous act and did not request a licence for the disputed shop. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the landlord made such request and that the local council had failed to request the litigant defend his case. The court said that the restaurant was licenced according to the law and that the litigant had the right to operate it as a tenant. The court said that the court established its ruling on the grounds of solid evidence and that the appellant's defence was irrelevant in this regard.

The court dismissed the appeal.
