Holding
The court denied the application for an interlocutory injunction.
Facts
The defendant is the registered owner of land parcel Matuu/Ikaatini/676. Plaintiffs claim adverse possession for more than 12 years, seeking to have the defendant's title extinguished and to be registered as rightful owners. The defendant seeks an injunction to prevent Plaintiffs from interfering with the property.
Issues
- Whether an interlocutory injunction should issue to prevent Plaintiffs from excavating, digging, making bricks, constructing, cutting trees, sub-dividing, selling, and interfering with the property.
- Whether the Plaintiffs have a prima facie case for adverse possession and the defendant's title has been extinguished.
Reasoning
The court found that the Plaintiffs did not have a prima facie case for adverse possession and that the defendant's title had not been extinguished. The court also considered the balance of convenience and the practical effect of granting the injunction.
Outcome
The application for an interlocutory injunction was denied.
