Holding

The conservatory orders cannot be granted as the suit property is a private property with no public law connotation, public interest, or constitutional values.

Facts

The Plaintiffs claim to have purchased a 3-acre plot of land from the late Cosmas Ojwelu, and have been in peaceful possession since 1981. The 1st Defendant, without succession, illegally subdivided the land into four plots.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiffs met the requirements for a temporary order of injunction.
  2. Whether a temporary conservatory order of injunction could issue.

Reasoning

The court found that the suit property is a private property and the dispute is between the Plaintiffs and the Respondents. There are no public law connotations, issues of public interest, or constitutional values.

Outcome

The application was denied.

Orders

  • The 1st Defendant is restrained from interfering with the Plaintiffs' possession, occupation, and use of the land
