Case Note
Chege v Sholei
A petitioner alleged her private phone messages had been accessed without authorisation and used as evidence in a separate Succession Cause, in breach of Article 31. The Court held the real dispute was the admissibility of that evidence in the Succession Cause — a question for the Succession Court, by appeal or review, not a fresh constitutional petition running in parallel. Allowing the petition to proceed would have undermined the finality of the Succession proceedings by attacking them collaterally.
