Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, Zuva Petroleum Two (Private) Limited, sought to be joined as a respondent in proceedings where the first respondent was seeking transfer of two stands (2418 and 2442) from the second respondent. The applicant claimed it had a direct and substantial interest in these properties as it owned an undivided half share of the original land and had built a commercial complex on the property. The applicant argued that it could not be left out of the litigation as its interests would be affected by any judgment.
