Holding

The application is dismissed as res judicata and the Plaintiff is not entitled to an injunction.

Facts

The Plaintiff applied for an injunction to restrain the 1st Respondent from disposing of two properties (L.R. No. 13824 and L.R. 14600) pending her appeal against a previous ruling dismissing her earlier application.

Issues

  1. Whether the instant application is res judicata
  2. Whether the instant application is an abuse of court process
  3. Whether the applicant has established any grounds to warrant the orders sought

Reasoning

The court found that the Plaintiff's application is barred by the doctrine of res judicata as the same issues were previously decided by the Court of Appeal.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
