Holding

The Court granted the Plaintiffs' application for an injunction to prevent the sale of the land pending the hearing and determination of the main suit.

Facts

The Plaintiffs are members of a registered community-based organization (CBO) called Schemers Community Based Organization.

  3. Whether the Plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction to prevent the sale of the land

Reasoning

The Court found that the Plaintiffs are bona fide members of the CBO and proper guarantors for the loans, and thus entitled to the injunction.
