Holding

The application is dismissed with costs as the plaintiff has failed to show a prima facie case with a probability of success and has not demonstrated irreparable harm.

Facts

The plaintiff, Francis Musolio Cheloti, purchased half of a land parcel (S. Kabras/Chemuche/1248) from the first respondent, Maigwe Kiarie. The second respondent, Jane Maigwe Kiarie, refused to transfer the land to the plaintiff. The plaintiff claims irreparable loss due to the respondents' refusal to transfer the land.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff has a prima facie case for an interlocutory injunction
  2. Whether the plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiff did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case and that the plaintiff's claim for irreparable harm was not sufficiently supported.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
