Holding

The Plaintiff has not met the threshold for a prohibitive or mandatory injunction and the application is dismissed.

Facts

The Plaintiff claims to have purchased a residential plot in Bomet Township, Kenya from the 1st Defendant. The 2nd Defendant and interested parties claim to have purchased portions of the same plot. The Plaintiff alleges trespass and breach of contract, while the Defendants deny these claims.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff has a prima facie case for an injunction.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to a mandatory injunction.
