Facts of the Case
Background
The respondents, as members of AFM Church, applied for a spoliation order claiming they had been unlawfully denied access to church premises by being locked out. The Magistrate granted the order, but on appeal, the High Court found that spoliation concerns possession, not access, and that the respondents had not established they were in possession of the church premises.
