Holding

The Plaintiff's application is not merited and the same is dismissed. The status quo order is granted.

Facts

The Plaintiff claims to have purchased the suit property from Melton Mooke Ole Ncharo, a beneficiary of the estate of Dedan Maina Pertet. However, the 1st Defendant, who is one of the administrators of the estate, disputes the transaction and claims the property was part of the estate's assets.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff has established a prima facie case for the grant of temporary injunction.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff suffered irreparable loss that cannot be compensated by an award of damages.

Reasoning

The Plaintiff failed to provide evidence of a valid sale transaction and the transfer documents are not registered. The Court found that the Plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case.
