High Court Land Division dismissed a second land appeal, upholding concurrent findings that the appellant was a trespasser on land owned by the respondent.
The Court of Appeal dismissed an application for extension of time to seek revision, finding no good cause, no proof of lack of representation, and no apparent illegality.
The High Court allowed a land appeal, quashed dismissal of a restoration application, and sent the matter back for hearing before another chairman.
The Tribunal contravened Regulation 13(2) by entering an ex parte order against the appellant when his advocate was absent for only one date without good cause; the appellant was denied the right to be heard.

The Court of Appeal struck out a notice of appeal because it was not served on the applicant or her advocate in the relevant High Court proceedings.

Application for extension of time was filed after an inordinate delay of about 21 months, without accounting for each day of delay or demonstrating diligence. Applicant failed to show sufficient cause for extension, and granting the application would promote endless litigation.
