Facts of the Case
Background
The City of Harare allocated four residential stands to the respondents through letters from its officials. The respondents paid provisional deposits and administration fees but the City failed to determine and notify them of the actual intrinsic land values, preventing development. The respondents sought court intervention to compel disclosure or deem their payments as full settlement.
