On May 14, 2020, a Kenyan court granted Brookhouse School a reprieve in an e-learning fees dispute, allowing the school to resume virtual classes for all kindergarten and lower primary learners.
Justice Weldon Korir had previously ordered the school to slash fees by 50 percent and stop virtual learning for lower primary learners, but the school and some parents petitioned the court to suspend the decision.
Brookhouse management argued that the parents who rushed to court did not disclose all the facts to the judge, and that by enrolling their children, the parents agreed to be bound by the school's policies, rules, and regulations.
As a result, the court agreed that parents who do not wish their kindergarten children to participate in virtual learning will not be victimized, while those who participate will pay the fees as directed on April 30.
