Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the Respondents, and the interim order is vacated.

Facts

The Plaintiff, Charles Owaka Ochieng', seeks a temporary injunction to restrain the Respondents from disposing of his land parcel, claiming they threatened to sell it without proper notice. The Plaintiff alleges he entered a loan agreement with the 1st Respondent, Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Co-Operatives Limited, to purchase the land, but the loan was not fully repaid.

Issues

  1. Whether the Respondents have complied with the statutory power of sale provisions.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff has established a prima facie case for an injunction.

Reasoning

The court found that the Plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case for an injunction and that he has not demonstrated irreparable loss. The balance of convenience does not favor the Plaintiff.
