Holding
The Court dismisses the Plaintiff's application for temporary injunction with costs to the Defendant.
Facts
The Plaintiff, Ridgeways Holdings Co. Ltd., applied for an injunction to restrain the Defendant, Madison Insurance Co. of Kenya Ltd., from selling or disposing of the suit property (L.R Nos. 6725/114 and 6725/115) pending the hearing of the suit.
Issues
- Validity of the Defendant's unilateral interest rate increase
- Plaintiff's right to interim relief
