Holding
The court declines to grant the injunction sought by the plaintiff, as it would cause inconvenience to school children and the community.
Facts
The plaintiff, Chepchieng D. Chelagat, claims to have purchased land in 1999 from Lonrho E. A. Limited.

The plaintiff seeks an injunction to prevent the defendants from interfering with the land until the case is heard.

- Whether the defendants' actions constitute trespassing and interference with the land
Reasoning
The court considers that granting an injunction would adversely affect the pupils and the community, and that an award of damages would be adequate.
Outcome
