Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiffs, who purchased Railway Farm 26 in 1999 and had it transferred to their names in 2002, sought ejectment of 30 defendants (A1 settlers) who occupied the property. The State had served acquisition notices on the property in 2002-2003, and the plaintiffs vacated in 2003 except for some cattle. The defendants were settled by the District Administrator and received allocation letters.
