Holding

The court granted leave to apply for judicial review.

Facts

The applicant, Muigai International (K) Ltd, filed a civil application seeking interim restraining orders against Irene Ajwang. Ajwang filed an application to vacate these orders, arguing that there were previous orders in CMCC No. 4118 of 2015 that conflicted with the interim orders.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has an arguable case for granting leave to apply for judicial review.
  2. Whether the interim restraining orders should be quashed and the validity of previous orders extended.

Reasoning

The court considered the requirements for leave to apply for judicial review as explained in previous cases and held that the applicant had an arguable case.

Outcome

Leave granted
