#The Court of Appeal closed this injunction application because both sides agreed to settle, meaning no legal precedent was set.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This brief covers a very short Court of Appeal judgment delivered at Nairobi on 5th May 2003 by a coram of Tunoi, O'Kubasu and Ole Keiwua, JJA, in Civil Miscellaneous Application No. 208 of 2000. The application before the Court of Appeal was an application for an interlocutory injunction arising from a ruling of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Aluoch, J) dated 13th June 2000 in H.C.C.C. No. 15 of 2000, in which Elijah Musembei and Another were applicants against Jared Onyari as respondent. The judgment contains no analysis of the merits, no consideration of the principles governing interlocutory injunctions, and no decision on the appeal from the High Court ruling. Instead, it records that, pursuant to a consent letter dated 23rd April 2003 signed by counsel for both parties, the application was marked as settled and withdrawn, with no orders as to costs. Because the application was withdrawn by consent, the court made no findings, resolved no issues for determination, and set no precedent that would bind lower courts. The only operative order is the marking of the application as settled and withdrawn with no orders as to costs. Accordingly, no binding propositions, key legal issues, or quotable holdings beyond the disposition can be recorded, and the case has value mainly as part of the procedural history of the underlying High Court suit.
