Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants and first/second respondents both claimed ownership of residential stands 41625 and 41626 in Mount Pleasant through different offer letters from the City of Harare. The applicants sought an urgent interdict to stop the respondents from developing the stands, but the court found the matter was not urgent as they had delayed taking action since July 2024.
