Holding

The application for injunction is allowed in terms of prayer (3). The Plaintiff shall have the costs of the application.

Facts

The Plaintiff and the 1st Defendant are husband and wife who got married in 1993. The suit property, registered under the 1st Defendant, was sold to the 2nd Defendant in 2014 without the Plaintiff's consent.

Issues

  1. Whether the sale of the suit property was fraudulent and without the Plaintiff's consent.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to a declaration that the suit property is matrimonial property.
  3. Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to a permanent injunction restraining the Defendants from interfering with the suit property.

Reasoning

The court found that the Plaintiff is likely to suffer irreparable damage if the suit property is not protected by an injunction, and that the purpose of the interlocutory injunction is to preserve the rights of the parties and the property in dispute until the suit is finally determined.
