background
Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant sought eviction of the respondent from property she claimed to have purchased and held title deeds for. The Magistrates Court dismissed the matter for lack of jurisdiction, finding it needed to make a declaratory order regarding ownership between the appellant and the respondent's mother. The appellant appealed directly seeking substitution of the eviction order and holding over damages.
