Holding
The Court dismisses the application for injunction with costs to the 1st and 2nd respondents.
Facts
The applicant, James Kaburu Wachira, filed a suit against the respondents in the Environment and Land Court (ELC) Case No. E004 of 2023, which was dismissed by Olola, J. on 16th June, 2023. The respondents requested an injunction against the applicant and his agents to prevent them from dealing with a parcel of land LR No. Iriaini/Gatundu/104 pending the appeal.
Issues
- Whether the applicant's appeal is arguable
- Whether the respondents' application for injunction is valid
Reasoning
The Court finds that the intended appeal is not arguable due to the closure of the original title and the issuance of subsequent titles, making it difficult to see how the appeal would be arguable.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
