The appellate court found that the trial magistrate properly exercised her discretion in granting the temporary injunction, having considered all relevant factors: prima facie case, irreparable damage, balance of convenience, and maintenance of the status quo. The court held that a locus visit was unnecessary since the appellant admitted possession and purchase of the suit land, and there was no dispute over boundaries or ownership requiring such a visit.
