Holding
The Plaintiff's application for an interlocutory injunction fails as the probability of success is highly doubtful and there is no evidence of irreparable harm.
Facts
The Plaintiff seeks an injunction to prevent the Defendant from developing a public car park on Government land adjoining his hotel, claiming it will block access and cause irreparable loss.
Issues
- Whether the Plaintiff has shown a prima facie case for a temporary injunction.
- Whether the construction of the public car park will cause irreparable harm to the Plaintiff.
Reasoning
The Court found that the Defendant has not allocated the parking area to a private developer and the land is still awaiting development. The Plaintiff has not provided evidence of no access to his hotel.
Outcome
The Plaintiff's application for an interlocutory injunction is denied.
