TypeCivil SuitPostureAppeal from an original trial outcomeCoramD. K. MARAGA
Holding
The application is dismissed with costs as the suit land has been transferred to the plaintiff and a Title Deed issued to her.
Facts
The plaintiff claimed to have bought land from the defendant, but the defendant later filed a Chamber Summons seeking to restrain the plaintiff from dealing with the land. The plaintiff had already transferred the land to herself and obtained a title deed.
Issues
- Specific performance of the contract
- Permanent injunction against the defendant
- Injunction to restrain the defendant from removing the Title Deed from the Commissioner of Lands' office
Reasoning
The court found that setting aside the previous order would be futile as the land had been transferred to the plaintiff, and granting the defendant's request would be inappropriate as the plaintiff is not interested in the other pieces of land mentioned.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
Orders
