Nairobi, Oct. 5 -- The Supreme Court has cleared the way for an appeal expected to examine lenders' powers and actions when a borrower dies before a mortgaged property is sold.

This follows the court's dismissal of a bid by Housing Finance Company (K) Limited to stop Faith Wanjiru, the administrator of the estate of the late Harrison Charles Kimeriah, from pursuing the appeal in a 46-year property battle.
