Gregoire’s Company Limited v Payet ((SCA 19/2025) [2025] (Arising in CS 112/2022) (15 December 2025)) [2025] SCCA 36 (15 December 2025)

The appellant failed to prove ownership of the Manager's House and the relevant land parcel, and the respondent had a valid licence to occupy the Manager's House with her father's consent. The acts complained of, except for the August 2022 incident and changing the office lock, did not amount to trespass. Even where trespass was established, the appellant failed to prove actionable damage as required by Article 1382. The trial court's findings on credibility and lack of damage were upheld, and the appeal was dismissed.
