Facts

Walter Otiso Osoro purchased land from Embakasi Ranching Company Limited, but the Land Registrar registered the 1st Defendant as the proprietor. Osoro claims breach of contract and seeks an injunction.

Issues

  1. Whether Osoro is entitled to an injunction pending the suit.
  2. Whether Osoro has established a prima facie case with a probability of success.

Reasoning

The Plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case for an injunction due to the 1st Defendant's registration as the proprietor. The Plaintiff is not the registered owner and can be compensated by damages.

Dismissed
