TypeCivilPostureAppeal from a mandatory injunction orderCoramM.K. Ibrahim, J.W. Mwera
Holding

The application for a mandatory injunction is dismissed

Facts

The appellant, Anne Wambui Muraya T/A Off Road Bar & Restaurant, was evicted from the premises she was operating as a tenant due to an eviction order issued for the entire premises, including her business 'LSMAF Enterprises'. She claims she was only evicted from the part known as 'LSMAF' and not her business 'Off Road Bar & Restaurant'.

Issues

  1. Whether a mandatory injunction for reinstatement can be granted to the appellant
  2. Jurisdiction of the court to issue mandatory injunction orders in an appeal

Reasoning

The court finds that the eviction order was directed at 'LSMAF' Enterprises and not 'Off Road Bar & Restaurant'. The court does not have jurisdiction to issue mandatory injunction orders in an appeal where the appeal did not have a prayer for injunction.

Outcome

The application is dismissed
