The respondent sought eviction of the appellant from House No. B35 claiming he had bought the property. The magistrates court granted the eviction order. On appeal, the High Court found that the magistrates court lacked jurisdiction as the matter involved an ownership dispute concerning property valued above the court's monetary jurisdiction limit.
