Collet Atieno Oloo vs. Cyrus Odhiambo Oguna (2010)
In a historic decision by the Court of Appeal, Ongoya & Wambola Advocates successfully argued for the nullification of a marriage where one spouse was HIV-positive. This precedent-setting case (Collet Atieno Oloo vs. Cyrus Odhiambo Oguna) established new protections for health disclosures in marital contracts. Partner Dismas Wambola led the litigation, which was later published in the National Council for Law Reporting’s digest of precedent-setting cases.
Key Outcomes:
- First Kenyan marriage nullified due to HIV nondisclosure
- Strengthened protections for health transparency in relationships
