Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a 50% co-owner of immovable property, sought to set aside a sale in execution where the Messenger of Court sold 100% of the property instead of only the 50% share authorized by the writ of execution. The sale was conducted without her knowledge or consent as a non-debtor co-owner.
