Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant purchased a Land Rover Discovery from the first respondent who claimed to have a verbal mandate from the second respondent (registered owner) to sell the vehicle. After payment and delivery, the second respondent reported the vehicle stolen, leading to its blacklisting by the Central Vehicle Registry. Police investigations cleared the transaction of theft and confirmed existence of a verbal mandate, but the blacklisting was not reversed.
