Absa Bank Kenya and Absa Life Assurance Kenya Ltd got a reprieve after the High Court set aside an order directing them to pay its former alleged client Sh1.2 million as general damages for unlawfully enrolling him in an insurance policy without his consent.

Instead, the High Court has substituted the amount, which had been ordered by a Magistrate’s court, to Sh300,000 which it terms as reasonable exemplary general damages.
