Ex parte land judgment declaring the plaintiff lawful owner, cancelling the second defendant’s title, and granting a permanent injunction, with damages refused.
The appellant's certificate of occupancy was the first validly issued title and there was no evidence of fraud. The subsequent certificate to the 2nd respondent was invalid due to the priority principle in double allocation. The trial tribunal's decision was based on speculation without evidential support and is quashed.
Source excerpt
Plaintiff's claim to ownership based on letter of offer is dismissed as the property was already allocated and registered in the name of second defendant's late husband, making subsequent offer illegal and ineffectual. Claim of ownership by long possession is premature and incompetent as statutory procedures for adverse possession were not followed. Allegation of fraud in certificate of title cannot be determined without Registrar of Titles as a party.
Source excerpt
