Defendant 2

Procedural Posture

Small Estate Distribution / Partition / Application to Strike Out Under Order 18 R 19 (summary Dismissal)

  1. 1 Whether the writ/statement of claim discloses a reasonable cause of action
  2. 2 Whether the claim is frivolous, vexatious or an abuse of process
  3. 3 Whether the plaintiff had avenue of appeal under the Small Estate Distribution Act and failed to comply with statutory time limits

Ratio Decidendi

On the facts the plaintiff attended and expressly agreed to registration of the deceased's property in favour of Defendant 1 at the original Land Administrator proceeding; no appeal was taken within the statutory period under the Small Estate Distribution Act; the present writ discloses no reasonable cause of action, is obviously unsustainable and constitutes an abuse of process and an attempt to relitigate a final administrative order; accordingly the strike‑out applications under Order 18 r 19(1) are allowed and the action is struck out with costs to each defendant.

Court Disposition

Applications to strike out allowed; action struck out
