The High Court has granted Nyachoti & Company Advocates leave to cease acting for Foxcapital Investment Limited in its Ksh.145 billion dispute with KCB Bank (Kenya) Limited.
Lady Justice Rhoda Rutto allowed the law firm’s application dated September 10, 2026, during a mention before the court on September 17.
The court further granted Foxcapital 14 days to regularise its legal representation following the withdrawal of its advocates.
The matter will return to court on October 27, 2026, for further directions on how the case will proceed.
Nyachoti & Company Advocates had sought the court’s permission to withdraw from representing Foxcapital, citing difficulties in obtaining further, accurate and sufficient instructions from the company after KCB filed documents and affidavits in response to the suit.
The firm, through lawyer Philip Nyachoti, also asked the court to make directions on the costs of the application.
In the order issued on September 17, Justice Rutto stated: “The application to cease acting dated 10th September 2026 is hereby allowed.”
The judge consequently granted Nyachoti & Company Advocates leave to cease acting for Foxcapital in the case.
The dispute involves Foxcapital and KCB Bank and concerns a claim valued at Ksh.145 billion.
With the withdrawal now formally allowed, Foxcapital has until early October to regularise its representation before the case comes up for further directions on October 27.
