Holding

An order of temporary injunction will issue restraining the respondents from interfering with or blocking the contractors engaged by the applicant to fence the premises. The applicant is at liberty to put the fence that suits it.

Facts

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant can erect a fence and construct a guard house on the properties
  2. Whether the applicant can evict the respondents from the properties if they obstruct the contractors
