Facts

Orbit Chemical Industries Ltd sought an injunction against Nairobi City County, Nairobi Metropolitan Services, and Ann Kananu Mwend and Mohamed Badi, claiming they were trespassing on its property L. R. No. 12425, which it had sub-divided into Nairobi Block 263/1 to 263/1339. The defendants had previously been ordered to vacate the property in a 2006 High Court ruling.

Issues

  1. Trespassing on the plaintiff's property
  2. Subdivision and possession of the property
  3. Security and compliance with court orders

Reasoning

The 2006 High Court ruling declaring that no person may enter or remain on the suit property save with the plaintiff's leave suffices for restraining the defendants from interfering with the property. The plaintiff failed to file another application for injunctive orders.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
