Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant purchased stand number 7 Dove Crescent Vainona from the first respondent in his capacity as executor dative of the late Mr Peter Pamire's estate. The first respondent had previously sold the same property to the second respondent in 1997, but later cancelled that agreement. The second respondent obtained a provisional order for title transfer, which was discharged and then purportedly confirmed. The second respondent then transferred title to himself and subsequently to the third respondent. The applicant sought to cancel the third respondent's title and reinstate his own.
