The High Court on Tuesday barred the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from presenting its case on whether the cases filed by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and Justice Ibrahim should be stayed.
The commission's lawyer, Issa Mansur, said he would argue the commission's case using existing judgment and the law.
Senior lawyer Paul Nyamodi supported Mansur's argument.
He said JSC was the main party in the case and urged the court to allow all parties to give their side of the story, as the cases involved senior judges.
