The plaintiff's application for injunctions is dismissed.

Facts

The plaintiff bought a vehicle on hire purchase from the defendant for Kshs 3,600,000. The defendant issued repossession notices and advertised the vehicle for sale. The plaintiff sought to prevent the sale and recover the vehicle.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff can prevent the sale of the vehicle.
  2. Whether the plaintiff can compel the defendant to return the vehicle.

Reasoning

Outcome

The plaintiff's notice of motion is dismissed with costs.
