The High Court has granted conservatory orders preventing Credit Bank Limited and Purple Royal Auctioneers from proceeding with the sale of land designated for the construction of the Pinnacle Tower, set to become Kenya's tallest building.

The land, located in Upperhill, Nairobi, had been put up for auction despite ongoing efforts to resolve a financial dispute.

Justice Peter Mulwa issued the orders, which prohibit the bank and auctioneers from selling, interfering with, or even entering the property while the lawsuit filed by One Upperhill Tower Limited is heard and determined. "Pending the hearing and determination of this application, the Court does issue a temporary injunction restraining the Respondents whether by themselves, their servants, agents or any person claiming through or under them from entering, selling, taking over, advertising, offering for sale or in any manner whatsoever interfering with that parcel of land known as Title No.

NAIROBI/BLOCK 31/219," Justice Mulwa ruled.
