background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant church sought eviction of the respondent from its mission house and church building at Chizinga Assembly, Mhondoro. The respondent had been deployed there by a dissident pastor during a 2018-2021 church leadership dispute, without the applicant's authority. After the Supreme Court resolved the leadership dispute in Case No. SC 67/21, the respondent remained in occupation despite having no legal relationship with the applicant.
