The application to be joined was dismissed because the appellant did not qualify as an occupier under O.89 r.5 but instead claimed a beneficial interest (a remedy outside the summary possession procedure), and the application was filed after the order for vacant possession had been granted and perfected (6 June 2021), rendering the court functus officio and the application too late.

Intended Defendant / Applicant to Be Joined

Procedural Posture

Originating Summons Under Order 89 ROC 2012 (summary Possession) / Post Judgment Application to Be Joined and Appeal From Dismissal of That Application

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether an applicant can be joined as a defendant under O.89 r.5 after an order for vacant possession has been granted
  2. 2 Whether the applicant is an occupier entitled to be heard or merely a beneficial owner with a separate remedy
  3. 3 Whether the application was filed in time or the court is functus officio

Ratio Decidendi

The application to be joined was dismissed because the appellant did not qualify as an occupier under O.89 r.5 but instead claimed a beneficial interest (a remedy outside the summary possession procedure), and the application was filed after the order for vacant possession had been granted and perfected (6 June 2021), rendering the court functus officio and the application too late.
