Facts

Anne Wangeci Schofield filed a suit in the High Court seeking damages for breach of a retainer contract with Palm Valley Development Ltd. The respondents were to share profits from the sale of units on the property. The High Court dismissed her application for injunction.

Issues

  1. Whether the High Court erred in failing to consider the fact that the respondents were a limited liability company and the 1st respondent had to file a board resolution authorizing him to prosecute the suit.
  2. Whether the intended appeal is arguable and if so, whether it will be rendered nugatory if the injunction orders are not granted.

Reasoning

The Court found the appeal arguable and dismissed the application for injunction. The Court did not find the appeal nugatory.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
