Holding

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

Facts

The plaintiff, Dorothy Njumbi, seeks an injunction to restrain the defendant, Daniel Gichuru Njoroge, from interfering or destroying her property LR Nairobi/Block/119/3277. The defendant claims he is the registered owner of LR No 14225/83 and disputes the boundary dispute.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff can seek an injunction against herself
  2. Whether the plaintiff has a prima facie case for an injunction
  3. Whether the plaintiff has disclosed all material facts in her pleadings

Reasoning

The court finds that the plaintiff's prayer for an injunction has a serious error and lacks merit. The plaintiff has not established a prima facie case and there is material non-disclosure.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
