Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant and first respondent divorced in 2017 with a consent paper providing for sale of their immovable property. When the first respondent failed to exercise his option to purchase within 60 days, the appellant offered to buy the property for US$225,000. After giving only 3 days for response and receiving none, the Sheriff signed the transfer documents on 24 July 2018, transferring the property to the appellant. The first respondent successfully sought cancellation of the deed in the court a quo.
