Former CJ Willy Mutunga's ex-wife loses bid to revive divorce case

Court of Appeal Judges found that her conduct, while the appeal was pending, did not persuade the court to intervene.

Former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga's ex-wife Beverle Michaele Lax has lost a bid to revive a divorce appeal she filed against him in 2015. The Court of Appeal had initially dismissed Lax’s appeal against a High Court divorce ruling for her lawyer’s failure to pursue it. She, however, went back, saying her lawyers never informed her that the case was coming up. But Court of Appeal Judges Asike Makhandia, Jamilla Mohammed and Sankale ole Kantai found that her conduct, while the appeal was pending, did not persuade the court to intervene.
