Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought to set aside the appointment of the first respondent as executor of her late mother-in-law's estate and the award of a property in Kadoma. The applicant had been staying at the property and claimed to have made improvements to it. The matter was struck off the roll for lack of locus standi, and the applicant then sought leave to appeal this decision.
