Facts
The plaintiff claims to be the lawful owner of plot number 7249 in Wajir town, which he alleges was allocated to him by the defunct County Council of Wajir in 1998. The 20th defendant, the County Government of Wajir, disputes this claim and argues that the plot was allocated to the area chief in 1970 and has been under occupation since then.

- Whether the balance of convenience favors granting an injunction pending a full trial.
