- Decided
- 7 November 2019
The application is dismissed with no order as to costs.
Facts
The Applicant, Salome Wanjiru Ngugi, had a title to the suit property, which was fraudulently obtained. The Respondent, Mumbi Wakaba, was the first defendant in a previous case where the court found the Applicant's title was fraudulent and ordered its cancellation. The title was registered in the Respondent's name. The Applicant now seeks maintenance of status quo due to the Respondent's transfer of the property to her daughter.
Issues
- Whether the Applicant has shown a case for maintenance of status quo
Reasoning
The court found no merit in the application as the Respondent is the registered owner and can deal with the property as she wishes. The property has already been transferred to her daughter, and there is no need for the court to order maintenance of status quo.
Outcome
Application dismissed
Orders
- Status quo maintained pending the hearing
