Holding

The plaintiffs have not demonstrated a prima facie case for an injunction and the application is dismissed.

Facts

The plaintiffs claim to have purchased 37.5 acres of land (LR No. 8508) in Soy, which they claim originally belonged to Soy Country Club Limited. The land is currently registered under the defendant, Spring West Kenya Limited. The plaintiffs seek a temporary injunction and a restriction on the land.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiffs have demonstrated a prima facie case for an injunction.
  2. Whether the plaintiffs have demonstrated a need for the land registrar to register a restriction on the land.

Reasoning

The plaintiffs failed to show that the defendant has threatened them with eviction or disposal of the land, and the plaintiffs have not given evidence of improper dealings or fraud on the land.

Outcome

Application dismissed

Orders

  • A temporary injunction is not granted.
  • A restriction on the land is not registered.
