Now Therefore: 22. The Court finds that there is a situation of extreme grav ity and urgency, as well as a risk of irreparable harm to the Ogie k of the Mau Forest and also prejudice to the substantive matter before the Court; 23. Consequently, the Court concludes that the circumsta nces require it to order, as a matter of urgency, provisional mea sures, in accordance with Article 27 (2) of the Protocol and Rule 51 of its Rules, to preserve the status quo ante pending the dete rmination of the Court on the main application; 24. For the avoidance of doubt, the measures the Court will order will necessarily be provisional in nature and will not in any way prejudge the findings the Court might make on its juris diction, the admissibility of the application and the merits of the case ; 25. For these reasons, THE COURT unanimously grants the Applicant's requ est and hereby provisionally ORDERS that: 1) The Respondent immediately reinstates the restriction s it had imposed on land transactions in the Mau Forest Complex and refrains from any act or thing that would or might irrep arably prejudice the main application before the Court, until the final determination of the said application. 2) The Respondent reports to the Court within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt hereof, on the mea sures taken to implement this Order.
