Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant entered into an instalment sale agreement with the first respondent for property stand 3608 Mzari Extension, Chinhoyi in 1997-1998. The applicant built a cottage but not the main house as required by the agreement. In 2006, the respondents cancelled the agreement and repossessed the property, later selling it to the third respondent in 2020. The applicant challenged the cancellation, arguing lack of proper notice and service.
