Holding

The application for a temporary injunction is dismissed with no orders as to costs.

Facts

The Plaintiff, Frankline Njabani Murithi, claims to be the sole registered owner of Plot No. 393 Kambi Juu measuring 80 by 80 feet. The Defendant, Charity Muthomi, and her agents have been encroaching on the Plaintiff's land.

Issues

  1. Ownership of Plot No. 393 Kambi Juu
  2. Temporary Injunction to restrain Defendant from encroaching on Plaintiff's land

Reasoning

The Court found that the Plaintiff's claim of ownership cannot be ascertained at the interlocutory stage due to the long-running dispute handled by various government bodies. The application did not meet the threshold for a temporary injunction.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Restraining Defendant from entering, fencing off, changing boundaries, occupying, developing in any way or interfering with Plaintiff's plot No. 393 Kambi Juu until hearing and determination of the application and suit
