The plaintiff satisfied the Order 14 preconditions and proved ownership via a stamped Memorandum of Sale; service of the vacant possession notice by prepaid registered post with a certificate of posting raises a presumption of service under section 12 of the Interpretation Acts which the occupiers did not rebut; notice for vacant possession is not a statutory prerequisite to commence the writ and the occupiers, who are not the registered owner, failed to raise any credible triable issue related to auction compliance or service; therefore summary judgment for delivery of vacant possession was properly entered and the appeal is dismissed.

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal From Sessions Court (vacant Possession Summary Judgment) / Determination of Appeal — Judgment Delivered

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the plaintiff properly served auction notices and notice for vacant possession on the occupiers
  2. 2 Whether the plaintiff complied with the conditions of the public auction and whether non-compliance raises a triable issue
  3. 3 Whether a notice for vacant possession is a prerequisite to commencing an action for vacant possession

Ratio Decidendi

The plaintiff satisfied the Order 14 preconditions and proved ownership via a stamped Memorandum of Sale; service of the vacant possession notice by prepaid registered post with a certificate of posting raises a presumption of service under section 12 of the Interpretation Acts which the occupiers did not rebut; notice for vacant possession is not a statutory prerequisite to commence the writ and the occupiers, who are not the registered owner, failed to raise any credible triable issue related to auction compliance or service; therefore summary judgment for delivery of vacant possession was properly entered and the appeal is dismissed.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed; Sessions Court judgment allowing summary judgment for vacant possession affirmed

Orders

  • Appeal dismissed
  • Summary judgment for delivery of vacant possession to the plaintiff affirmed
