Holding

The application to stay the instant suit pending the determination of the previous suit is dismissed.

Facts

The Plaintiff, Gamii Properties Limited, is seeking to enforce its rights over a property, while the Defendant, Mondo Properties Limited, seeks to challenge the sale of the property to the Plaintiff in a previous suit.

Issues

  1. Whether the sale of the property to the Plaintiff was irregular
  2. Whether the provisions of Section 99 of the Land Act are absolute
  3. Whether damages would be adequate recompense to the Defendant

Reasoning

The court found that the instant dispute is not about the legality of the sale of the property to the Plaintiff, which is the subject of the previous suit. The court concluded that staying the instant suit would cause unnecessary prejudice to the Plaintiff and is not in the interest of justice.

Application dismissed with costs to the Plaintiff.
