Holding

Court granted temporary injunction to maintain status quo of disputed land pending hearing of main suit. The second respondent supported the application and raised trial issues against the first respondent. The first respondent opposed but court found merit in maintaining status quo given conflicting positions between respondents and need to investigate matters raised.

Outcome

Temporary injunction granted pending hearing of the main suit

Facts

The applicant brought an interlocutory application for a temporary injunction arising from Civil Suit No. 398 of 2012 against Stanbic Bank Ltd and Fred Kirenga. The application was supported by affidavits sworn by the applicant. The second respondent filed affidavits in reply supporting the applicant's application. The first respondent did not file any affidavit in reply but opposed the application in submissions. The two respondents had conflicting submissions regarding a mortgage the first respondent extended to the second respondent. The court noted that the issues raised between the respondents and those raised by the applicant against both respondents required investigation by the court, necessitating maintenance of status quo of the suit land.
