Plan to rethink injunction rules timely

The legal system in Kenya has its foundation structured on the English common law and doctrines of equity. Under common law, if a citizen is wronged, he can only ask for damages, an extremely inadequate remedy. Over the years, a body of law has developed all covered by the law of equity which established remedies which are considered an epitome of fairness and justness.

When it comes to remedies, equity largely ignores the common law practice of money remedies and typically orders the defendant to do something.
