Holding

The Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect his interest in the suit property pending the determination of the mortgage issue.

Facts

The Plaintiff purchased a house from the 1st and 2nd Defendants on May 18, 2009. The Plaintiff claims to have paid a total of Kshs.26,862,787/=, but the 1st and 2nd Defendants claim he owes them Kshs.13,811,786.90. The 3rd Defendant, who had previously mortgaged the land to the 1st and 2nd Defendants, now demands Kshs.8,000,000/= from them.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect his interest in the suit property pending the determination of the mortgage issue.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff's interest in the suit property overrides the 3rd Defendant's mortgage.

Reasoning

The court finds that the Plaintiff's interest in the suit property predates the creation of the 3rd Defendant's mortgage and that the Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect his interest.

Outcome

The application for interlocutory injunction is allowed.

Orders

  • The Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect his interest in the suit property pending the determination of the mortgage issue.

Remedies

  • Injunction to protect the Plaintiff's interest in the suit property.
