TypeAppealPostureAppeal from a High Court judgment granting winding up orders and denying an injunctionCoramW.KARANJA, F. AZANGALALA, F. SICHALE
Holding

The application for an injunction is dismissed, and the winding up orders are upheld.

Facts

Two applicants sought winding up orders in respect of Tatu City and Kofinaf Company Limited, minority shareholders. The High Court granted winding up orders but denied the applicants' request for an injunction. The applicants appealed and filed an application for a stay of execution and injunction pending appeal.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicants are entitled to an injunction pending appeal
  2. Whether the applicants are insolvent and thus entitled to winding up orders

Reasoning

The applicants own a small percentage of the shares and there is no evidence of insolvency. The applicants failed to meet the requirements for an injunction under Rule 5(2) b of the Rules of this Court.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs to the respondent

Orders

  • Winding up orders upheld
  • Application for injunction dismissed

Remedies

  • Costs to the respondent
