Holding

The interim orders issued on 2nd June, 2017 are hereby vacated.

Facts

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff is the owner of the suit property
  2. Whether the Plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury that cannot be compensated by an award of damages

Reasoning

The court finds that the Plaintiff has not established a prima facie case with a probability of success and that the 1st and 2nd Respondents are likely to suffer more inconvenience if the injunction is allowed.

Outcome

The interim injunction is vacated.
