Reflecting on an Incredible Experience at Devcon in Bangkok, Thailand I had the honor of attending #DevconSEA as an Ethereum Foundation Legal Scholar, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. This gathering provided a unique opportunity to connect with legal professionals from diverse jurisdictions, learn from their expertise, and exchange invaluable ideas. A highlight was sitting with the Ethereum Foundation's legal team, gaining insights into their work, and engaging in rich, thought-provoking conversations. Another standout moment was meeting the Global Majority Web3 community, a group of passionate innovators solving real-world problems through groundbreaking products built on Web3 technology. Their creativity and dedication to addressing challenges, such as financial inclusion and digital identity, were truly inspiring. The event itself was impeccably organized one of the best I’ve ever attended. Beyond the sessions, I made meaningful connections that I believe will significantly contribute to fostering Web3 adoption in Africa and globally. Thank you to everyone I met who made this experience unforgettable. Looking forward to building and collaborating further in this exciting space!

Why No Tax Refunds? The Court of Appeal of Kenya has ruled that there will be no refunds for taxes collected under the now-declared unconstitutional 2023 Finance Act. The Court based its decision on the fact that this specific relief was not pleaded in the trial court. According to legal principles, new facts cannot be introduced at the Appellate Court if they were not pleaded in the Trial Court. The way you draft your pleadings significantly influences the trajectory of your case, not only in the Trial Court but also in the Appellate Court. Judges are not permitted to act suo moto, meaning they cannot issue decisions on matters that were not requested by the parties involved in the suit. While it may seem unfair that the Court of Appeal decided not to grant refunds for taxes collected under the unconstitutional 2023 Finance Act simply because it was not requested in the trial court, this decision underscores the importance of proper legal procedures. As a litigation lawyer, it is crucial to include all possible prayers in your pleadings and allow the Court to determine which Orders to grant. This approach ensures the correct interpretation and application of the law.
