Hearing of Justice Phillip Tunoi's appeal on his retirement age stalled after he applied to have the judge presiding over it to disqualify himself.
It took close to three hours, first in a closed-door session then an open court for a seven-judge bench to allow for Justice Tunoi's lawyers Fred Ngatia and Pheroze Nowrojee to make an application for an adjournment on the basis that Judge GBM Kariuki cannot sit due to conflict of interest.
