5. Analysis:
- Rules: The relevant statutes considered by the court pertained to the licensing requirements for public service vehicles under Kenyan transport law, specifically those governing the powers and responsibilities of the NTSA.
- Case Law: The court did not reference specific previous cases in the judgment, as the outcome was based on the consent between the parties rather than on contentious legal principles.
- Application: The court noted that the NTSA had no objection to the appellant's request and had already granted the endorsement for the Class A License. This implied that the legal requirements for the endorsement were met, leading to a straightforward resolution of the case.

6. Conclusion:
The court ruled in favor of the appellant, confirming that the NTSA had granted the endorsement of the Class A License. The decision underscored the cooperative nature of the resolution between the parties, with each bearing their own costs. This outcome indicated a functioning regulatory framework where the NTSA acted in accordance with its mandate.
