Holding

The court ruled that an all-embracing injunction against the 1st and 2nd defendants was not appropriate, but an inhibition was necessary to preserve the suit property.

Facts

The plaintiffs sought an injunction against the 1st and 2nd defendants' title to land, but the court ruled that an injunction was not appropriate due to the defendants' registered status. The court instead ordered an inhibition against the land.

Issues

  1. Injunction against registered proprietors
  2. Preservation of suit property pending determination

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiffs had a prima facie case but that an injunction was not suitable for registered proprietors. An inhibition was ordered to prevent the land from changing hands until the suit is decided.

Outcome

The plaintiffs' motion for an injunction was denied, and an inhibition was ordered.

Orders

  • An inhibition be registered against the parcel of land known as IR NO. 201546 situated in Nakuru Municipality (L.R NO. 15151).

Remedies

  • Preservation of the suit property

Authorities cited

Legislation (2)
