RULING MC HOME t..:!.• On 2://10/99 this court issued a temporary injuction against Defendants. This is an application by the.learned counsel for the plaintiff for extension of that injunction order as six months have expired since it was first issued and the defendants are no longer obeying it. Under the Civil Procedure Code as ammended by G.N. 5(17/91 1 a temporary injuction Ordej can have a_life span of only six months. When these expire . the holder of that order can apply for an extension of another six months • A temporary injunction can not last for a total of more than twelve months. The temporary injunction order complain~d 1of was granted on 27/10/99. It is over two years now. An extension of the temporary injunction can not be issued to last over a total of 12 months. Therefore this application for extension of the injunctio~ order is no longer maintainable. I hereby dismiss it with costs. ~ti-..c ,:,'1'· ' ~ ~ L.B. MCHOME, • 1··\.;f~~~t--~(
