Procedural Posture

Civil Application / Ruling on Interlocutory Injunction

  1. 1 Whether the present suit is res judicata in light of Judicial Review Application No. 176 of 2018.
  2. 2 Whether the plaintiffs/applicants have satisfied the conditions for grant of a temporary injunction restraining the defendants/respondents from interfering with the management and operations of Camp Toyoyo Stadium.

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that the present suit is not res judicata as the parties and subject matter differ from those in Judicial Review Application No. 176 of 2018. The court further held that the plaintiffs/applicants failed to satisfy the conditions for grant of a temporary injunction. There was insufficient evidence to establish that the defendants/respondents were unlawfully in office or that the applicants had a right requiring urgent protection. The court noted that granting an injunction would effectively reinstate the applicants without clarity on the current status of the stadium's management, which would be premature and potentially disruptive. The issues raised require full hearing...

Court Disposition

Orders
