Holding

Facts

The Plaintiff sold one acre of his land to the Defendant for Ksh.320,000/=, with the Defendant agreeing to install power and apply the cost as part of the purchase price. The Land Control Board consent was not obtained, making the agreement null and void. The Defendant took possession of the land.

Issues

  1. Validity of the land sale agreement
  2. Payment of the actual cost of electricity installation

Reasoning

The agreement was null and void due to the lack of Land Control Board consent, and the actual cost of electricity installation was lower than the agreed amount.

Outcome

Plaintiff's suit granted

Orders

  • Permanent injunction to restrain the Defendant from trespassing on the land

Remedies
