Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent company leased its service station property to the second appellant, who intended to operate it in the name of the first appellant. The first appellant never signed the lease. The respondent later sought eviction of the first appellant and damages, claiming it had never given vacant possession. The appellants raised a special plea of lack of locus standi, arguing the respondent did not own the property. The magistrate dismissed the special plea, and the appellants appealed.
