Holding

The court granted the plaintiffs' application for an interlocutory injunction restraining the defendant from advertising, selling, offering for sale, or interfering with the plaintiffs' properties pending the hearing and determination of the suit.

Facts

The plaintiffs claim that the defendant's exercise of statutory power of sale on their properties (LR No.14968/39 and LR No.36/1/1011) was null and void due to non-compliance with Auctioneers Rules, 1997, and was oppressive, unconscionable, and void ab initio.

  2. Exclusion of plaintiffs' equity of redemption
  3. Irreparable harm to plaintiffs
