A recent Larnaca District Court judgment examined the
requirements for granting mandatory injunctions on interim
applications.1
Facts
The applicant became the owner of a building in which the
respondent had been leasing and trading from premises for three
months prior to the building's change of ownership. During the
negotiations between the applicant and the previous owner regarding
the sale of the building, the applicant was made aware of the fact
that the building was occupied by several commercial tenants.
After taking ownership, the applicant filed an action against
the respondent to have him evicted from the leased premises on the
grounds that the lease agreement was invalid.
