Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought dismissal of a 2008 provisional order (HC 2079/08) that had protected the respondents' occupation of a disputed house, arguing that the respondents failed to seek confirmation for 14 years. The property was allegedly sold to both parties by the third respondent, creating a double sale situation.
