Holding
The appeal is allowed, the interlocutory injunction is set aside, and the application is dismissed
Facts
The respondent applied for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the appellant from interfering with the suit land, claiming it was his property. The respondent had entered into lease agreements and a sale agreement with the 2nd defendant, but these were not registered or consented to by the Land Control Board.
Issues
- Whether the respondent had a prima facie case to support the interlocutory injunction
- Whether the trial magistrate erred in granting the injunction
Reasoning
The respondent did not establish a prima facie case with a probability of success, and the lease agreements and sale agreement were void due to lack of Land Control Board consent.
