Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was evicted from her rental property by the first respondent (her landlord) via a warrant of ejectment enforced by the second respondent (Messenger of Court). The eviction occurred without the mandatory 48 hours notice required by Rule 4A(1) of Order 26 of the Magistrate's Court Rules. The applicant sought reinstatement on an urgent basis, arguing the eviction was procedurally flawed.
