Hotelier loses fight for Sh30m compensation by State agency

A hotelier who accused a State corporation of breach of contract after allegedly denying him a loan for the construction of a two-star hotel at Lake Nakuru National Park has failed in his bid to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court.

A bench of three judges of the Court of Appeal rejected the application by Sundowner Lodge Ltd to move the case to the Supreme Court, where it argued the top court should rule on whether general damages are not awardable for breach of contract cases.
