Holding
The appeal is dismissed with costs as the appellant failed to disclose the existence of ELC 168 of 2016 and the learned Judge's decision was sound.
Facts
The appellant claimed that the sale and registration of Parcel no. MN/VI/2360 in favour of the respondent was null and void, asserting that the suit premises belonged to the deceased whose estate he represented. The respondent was aware of the appellant's interest and the pending suit.
Issues
- Whether the learned Judge misdirected himself in declining to grant an interlocutory injunction
- Whether the appellant had demonstrated a prima facie case with a probability of success against the respondent
Reasoning
The Court found that the appellant did not have a prima facie case against the respondent and that the balance of convenience favored the respondent. The appellant's non-disclosure of the existence of ELC 168 of 2016 warranted the dismissal of the appeal.
