- Citation
- [2012] KEHC 2505 (KLR)
- Decided
- 10 August 2012
The court orders that the status quo be maintained until the ruling is delivered. The court declines to find the respondents to be in contempt and dismisses the application with costs to the respondents.
Facts
The plaintiffs/applicants filed a chamber summons application seeking an injunction, but the application had not been determined. The defendant and interested parties blocked the joint access to the plaintiffs' premises, which was in violation of a court order issued on February 4, 2011.
Issues
- Whether the 1st and 2nd Interested parties should be committed to civil jail for six months or such period as the court may deem fit for contravening the court orders issued on February 4, 2011.
- Whether the 1st and 2nd Interested parties are in contempt of court orders issued on February 4, 2011.
Reasoning
The court orders were that the status quo be maintained until the ruling is delivered. The respondents were served with the court order and acknowledged service. The court finds the respondents not in contempt as they have access to the premises and the two suits should be consolidated.
Outcome
Application dismissed with costs to the respondents.
