Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff sought eviction of the defendants from Stand 332A Muguta Extension Epworth, claiming ownership through a cession from Dias Kusvobwe in 2002. The defendants claimed prior rights through an earlier 1998 agreement between their father and the same seller. The court found the 1998 agreement illegal as it concerned a stand before subdivision, and upheld the plaintiff's valid 2002 cession.
