The application was heard on October 19, 2026, with Selorm Dey Esq., counsel for the plaintiffs, appearing on their behalf.Following the hearing, the court granted the application and ordered the defendants, their agents and assigns to refrain from convening, organising or advertising the festival during the specified period.

The court's order is intended to prevent the festival from proceeding while the matter remains before it.

In a letter dated October 19, 2026, Dey Legal Consult, solicitors for the plaintiffs, have applied to the Registrar of the High Court, General Jurisdiction 5, for the interlocutory injunction order to facilitate its prompt service on the respondents and ensure compliance of same.

The injunction comes just days before the festival's scheduled commencement on October 24, placing its organisation under a court-imposed restriction. The order specifically prohibits the defendants from undertaking the stated activities in connection with the festival from October 24 through November 1, 2026.

An interlocutory injunction is an interim court measure intended to preserve the position of parties while a legal dispute is being determined. The order itself does not amount to a final determination of the underlying dispute.
