Section 11 of Foreign Judgments Reciprocal Enforcement Act CAP 43: Effect of appeals, etc.

(1) An application may be made by or on behalf of the judgment debtor to set aside the registration of a judgment on the ground that-
(a) an appeal is pending against the judgment; or
(b) he is entitled and intends to appeal against the judgment; or
(c) the matter in relation to which the judgment was given is the same as that in respect of which proceedings, instituted prior to the institution of the proceedings in the original court, are pending in a court in Kenya.
(2) Where the High Court is satisfied that the grounds specified in subsection (1)(a) or (b) are established, it may, on such terms as it thinks just, set aside the registration or adjourn the application until the expiration of such period as appears to the High Court to be reasonably sufficient to enable the proceedings, and any appeal therefrom to a competent tribunal, to be disposed of.
