Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the 1st respondent

Facts

The applicant/appellant seeks an injunction to prevent the sale of land parcel NYAKI/KITHOKA/1791, which was originally registered in the name of their late mother and secretly transferred to the 2nd respondent without the family's knowledge.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has established a prima facie case for an injunction
  2. Whether the timing of the application was in bad faith

Reasoning

The applicant is found guilty of material non-disclosure and the timing of the application is seen as bad faith. The applicant has not demonstrated a prima facie case for an injunction due to the admitted indebtedness and the risk of the debt escalating.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Application dismissed with costs to the 1st respondent
  • Any temporary orders of injunction given herein are hereby discharged
