What this practically means
#Executive summary
#Key legal issues
#Whether interim orders obtained on 8th June 2018 should stand
They were obtained through misrepresentation and concealment of material facts and are discharged
The court considered both parties' depositions. The respondent showed the applicant failed to attend scheduled handovers of Nyakach Girls High School on multiple dates, and that the hospital whose medical documents the applicant relied on wrote stating her medical report and letter were fake. On this basis the court found the interim orders were procured by misrepresentation and concealment and discharged them.
Whether the requirements for conservatory orders were met
They were not; the Giella v Cassman Brown and Munya tests were not satisfied
The court applied the established test for conservatory orders from Giella v Cassman Brown and the Supreme Court decision in Munya. Finding the applicant had not satisfied those requirements, and given the concealment of material facts, the court declined to continue the interim protection or to halt the disciplinary process pending the main suit.
