Holding
The Plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case against the Defendants and the Plaintiff's conduct was inequitable.
Facts
The Plaintiff claimed to have entered into a tenancy agreement with the 2nd Defendant, who was acting as agent for the 1st Defendant, for the suit property. The Plaintiff paid a total of Kshs. 540,000/=, but the 1st Defendant demanded eviction without a valid reason.
Issues
- Whether the Plaintiff entered into a valid lease agreement with the Defendants
- Whether the Plaintiff suffered irreparable harm if the injunction was not granted
Reasoning
The Plaintiff took possession of the property without permission and the purported lease was not signed by the Defendants, making it unenforceable. The Plaintiff's possible loss can be quantified and compensated in damages.
Outcome
Application dismissed
Orders
- Application for Temporary Injunction dismissed
