DANFORD MARTIN MUYANGO VS BAKARI MFAUME KAMBI RULING

DANFORD MARTIN MUYANGO VS BAKARI MFAUME KAMBI RULING

The applicant satisfied all criteria for grant of temporary injunction: there is a serious question to be tried regarding breach of the refund agreement, irreparable loss would occur if the respondents dispose the property before the suit is determined, and the balance of convenience favours the applicant. The respondents admitted the debt and default, and the agreement provides for injunctive relief. The court exercised its discretion to preserve the applicant's rights pending final determination of the main suit.
