High Court land appeal dismissed after finding no procedural prejudice, proper evaluation of evidence, and no fatal error in recording assessors’ opinions.
The court found that spousal consent was sufficiently evidenced by the letter dated 9th March 2018, and that the mortgagee discharged its legal obligation. The mortgage and subsequent sale were therefore valid, and procedural complaints regarding assessors and reassignment lacked merit.
Source excerpt
The appellant failed to prove ownership of the disputed property with primary evidence, and the procedural irregularities alleged did not occasion injustice. The mortgage and sale were found to be valid, and the trial tribunal's decision was upheld.
Source excerpt
The opinions of the assessors were read over to the parties as required, the Tribunal properly evaluated the evidence and gave more weight to witnesses present during the sale, and the visit to locus in quo was not mandatory given the circumstances. The appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.
Source excerpt
The appellant failed to establish ownership of the disputed land, and the tribunal's reliance on one assessor was lawful due to the retirement of the other. Omission to visit the locus in quo did not occasion injustice as there was no controversy over the land's boundaries or location.
Source excerpt
The appeal lacks merit as the District Tribunal considered all relevant grounds, there is no evidence appellant's witnesses were denied a hearing, the requirement for assessors' opinions was met, there was no misjoinder or need to join the Attorney General, and the respondent had standing to file the suit regarding the easement.
Source excerpt
The High Court allowed a land appeal, quashed the tribunal’s judgment, and held the respondent lacked locus standi and had not proved ownership.
The appellant, being a stranger to the loan contract and auction process, lacked standing to challenge the auction or its procedures. The auction and subsequent sale to the 4th respondent were conducted as a result of the 1st respondent's default, and the tribunal substantially complied with legal requirements regarding assessors and written submissions. The grounds of appeal lacked merit and were dismissed.
