Holding

The Court denies the Plaintiff's application for a temporary injunction.

Facts

The Plaintiff, Eli Holdings Ltd, alleges that the Defendant, Kenya Commercial Bank, breached a Bank/Client contract by paying out various guarantees without obtaining approval from the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff seeks a temporary injunction to prevent the Defendant from making these payments.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff has established a prima facie case for a temporary injunction.
  2. Whether the Defendant's payment of the guarantees constitutes a breach of the Bank/Client contract.

Reasoning
