The Court of Appeal in Malindi has stopped two judges from hearing a protracted ownership case over a Sh2 billion five-star hotel in Watamu.

The court held that the two High Court judges in Mombasa did not settle questions about their jurisdiction to preside in the matter when they handled the dispute in the past.
