Facts of the Case
Background
Two applicants (a land developer and social security fund) sought a declaration that a 2001 agreement of sale for 526 hectares of land in Chegutu was valid and enforceable, and that a subsequent cession of rights was valid. The respondents opposed the application, arguing the agreement was void for non-compliance with statutory requirements for disposal of public land.
