Holding

The disputed property will remain in its current state until the suit is finalized, with neither party allowed to make additional developments or adverse deals with the properties in issue.

Facts

Joseph Njenga Ngarama claims to own land parcel Naivasha Municipality Block 8/56, formerly an unsurveyed commercial plot in Naivasha Town. Olive Wamuhu Kinyanjui claims the same land and asserts her title to it. The plaintiff claims the 1st defendant has unlawfully claimed the property.

Issues

  1. Ownership of the land parcel Naivasha Municipality Block 8/56
  2. Best method to preserve the status quo pending the suit's determination

Reasoning

The court cannot determine the rightful ownership due to conflicting claims and lack of expert reports. The status quo will be maintained to avoid further disputes.

Outcome

The application for injunction is compromised by an order of status quo.

Orders

  • Order of status quo

Remedies

  • Costs of the application shall be costs in the cause
