#What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief ex tempore-style interim ruling delivered by Lucy N. Mbugua, Judge, in Nairobi on 29 October 2024, addressing whether prayers 2 and 3 of a pending application should be granted. The prayers were opposed by the respondent. The court opted for a conditional rather than unconditional interim measure: it granted temporary orders of injunction, operative until the application is heard and determined or until further orders. The conditions imposed were that the applicant deposit the rent arrears into a joint interest-earning account in the names of the advocates for both parties within 21 days, and continue depositing any subsequent rent into the same account. This structure preserves the disputed rental monies pending full inter partes argument while maintaining the status quo. No authorities, statutes or costs orders are recorded in the ruling, and the parties, case number and underlying suit are not identified on the face of the document. Counsel Gitau appeared for the applicants and Pamba for the respondent, with Vena as court assistant. The matter returns to court for interlocutory hearing of the pending application; the injunction orders are interim and conditional and may be varied or discharged.
