Holding
The court grants the injunction application to prevent the defendants from interfering with the plaintiff's occupation of the land pending the main hearing.
Facts
The plaintiff claims adverse possession of land previously owned by the 1st defendant, who sold it to the 2nd defendant. The 2nd defendant then sold it to the plaintiff, who has occupied it for over 17 years. The 1st defendant denies selling the land to the plaintiff and claims the 3rd defendant has been in occupation since 2010.

- Eviction of the plaintiff from the land
