EXECUTION OF DECREES OR ORDERS:
Execution is the process of realizing the fruits of the judgment by enforcing the decree against the unsuccessful party through any one or more of various modes of execution as prescribed by law. The successful party is called a decree holder or judgment creditor while an unsuccessful party is called a judgment debtor. A decree is executed by the court which passes it or by court which the decree is sent by former execution.
The court that passes the decree is entitled to determine any question relating to execution, discharge, satisfaction, of the decree that should arise and not by separate suit. In Kabwengure v Charles Kanjabi [1977] HCN 89 it was held that all the questions relating execution including discharging the execution decree have to be determined by the court executing the decree and not by the separate suit.
In Ombeva vs. Kimani , CCS No 1033 of 1976 it was held that execution cannot issue against a non-party to the suit where Kimani, an assistant, was served and compelled to pay.
The decree must be executed within 12 years of its date. There are exceptions where that time can be extended, if the judgment creditor has been persuaded by fraud or by force. A decree is can be transferred or assigned. The transferee holds the decree subject to equities which the judgment debtor may have enforced against the original decree holder. A judgment debtor does not cease to be liable on a decree merely by death; a decree remains enforceable to its full extent against the deceased’s legal representative, executor or administrator of the estate or against the intermediater.
This is captured in order 13 rule 83 where if the court justifies that the resistance or obstruction was occasioned without any just cause by the judgment-debtor, or by some other person at his instigation, it shall direct that the applicant be put into possession of the property, and, where the applicant is still resisted or obstructed in obtaining possession,

    Part 2: Up until 1983 inmates were put to death by electrocution and lethal gas before given the option of lethal injection. In 1998 General Assembly ruled out electrocution and lethal gas making lethal injection the only option for execution. The death sentence is chosen by the same jury who finds the defendant guilty.

    For many decades the criminal justice system has endured many issues and problems that are currently questioning exactly how fair United States Criminal Justice system is to citizens and criminals that participate in both misdeameanor and violent offenses. The Corrections Department is one specific department that faces many controversies involving the validilty of one’s constitutional right of the Eighth Amendment. The Founding Fathers created one of the famous amendments that prohibits the law from enforcing cruel and unusual punishment in capital punishment. At one time, capital punishment consisted of electrocution, firing squad, and the gas chamber. Unfortunately, many individuals believe that this form of punishments were cruel and unusual and many states eliminated these methods in their executions. In present day, lethal injection is the new method used in state executions that have not banned the death penalty as a form of punishment. The death penalty is used in only 32 states as of 2014 however the re-creation of lethal drug cocktail makes the world ponder if the lethal injection method is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. The issue of the new combination of lethal injections drugs have many opposers speculating should the death row inmate have the legal right to know exactly what is behind the newly developed death penalty drugs as well as if it…

    The majority of states that entertain the death penalty permit execution through lethal injection. The second most common mean is electrocution. Hanging, the gas chamber, and firing squads have all survived at least as options available to the condemned in a few states. In 2008 the Supreme Court dealt with the Baze v. Rees case where the capital punishment of lethal injection involving a three-drug “cocktail” used by Kentucky does not violate the eighth amendment because it does not create unnecessary infliction of pain, torture, or lingering death. In 1878 Wilkerson v. Utah was one of the earliest cases the Supreme Court had dealing with the death penalty. It raised concerns about the eighth amendment questioning shooting as a cruel and unusual technique to execute through the death penalty. The court disagreed saying that using a firing squad was civil compared to what techniques were used around the time the Bill of Rights was written. In 1890 the Court supported electrocution as an acceptable way of execution in In re Kemmler. In Kemmler the Court defined the terms of cruel and unusual means of execution as: “Punishments are cruel when they involve torture or a lingering death; but the punishment of death is not cruel, within the meaning of that word as used in the Constitution. It implies there is something inhuman and barbarous, something more than the mere extinguishing of…

    Art AMERICAN CIVIL PROCEDURE (AN INTRODUCTION) I) General Description of Court Systems The U.S. court system consists of fifty state court systems plus a similar system for the District of Columbia and a separate system of federal courts. The federal courts and most state court systems are organized into trial courts (the U.S. District Courts in the federal system), intermediate appellate courts (a losing litigant in a federal district court generally may appeal a final decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the district court is located), and a Supreme Court. There are today 91 judicial districts in the United States, each having its own court. Additionally, there are districts courts for Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Every state, as well as the District of Columbia, has at least one judicial district, and many larger states are divided into two or three, or even (in the cases of Texas, New York, and California) four judicial districts. Congress’ decision to divide a particular state into more than one judicial district depends on population, geography, and caseload. At present there are eleven numbered circuits, each embracing a largely geographically contiguous area, including anywhere form three to ten states and territories. In addition, there is a Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which hears appeals from the federal district court there, and one for the Federal Circuit, which handles appeals on certain matters, such as patent disputes, and from various specialized federal tribunals, such as the Court of Federal Claims. At the apex of the federal court system is the Supreme Court of the United States, composed of nine justices. Unless disqualified or ill, all of the justices participate in each decision of the Court. Most cases reach the Court on discretionary writs of certiorari from the United States Courts of Appeals or the highest courts of the states. The federal…
