Background

The applicant sought an order compelling the first respondent to transfer property known as Stand 910 Greystone Park to it, while the first respondent counter-applied for eviction. The second respondent raised res judicata as a preliminary point, arguing the same matter had been decided in HC 3712/20 and SC 265/22.
