Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff purchased a property from Maffack Properties in 2006 but discovered in 2011 that the defendants had occupied it. The defendants claimed they received the property from Maffack Properties after their original purchase of a different property failed, but the court found this was an invalid allocation of property already sold to the plaintiff.
