Holding

The court finds that the plaintiff has failed to establish a prima facie case against the defendant and dismisses the application with no orders as to costs.

Facts

The plaintiff/applicant, Purity Wangari Muthee, sought a temporary injunction against the 1st and 2nd respondents, Clement Kamweru Kariuki and David Letting, to prevent them from building on the suit land.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff has met the threshold for grant of temporary injunctions.
  2. Whether the plaintiff is the owner of the suit land and will suffer irreparable loss if the injunction is not granted.

Reasoning

The plaintiff's evidence does not show a link of ownership of the suit land and she is not in occupation of the land.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Restraining the 1st and 2nd respondents from building on the applicant's parcel of land pending the hearing and determination of the application inter partes.
  • Costs of the application to be provided for.

Remedies

  • Restraining the 1st and 2nd respondents from building on the applicant's parcel of land
