Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought a declarator confirming its ownership of a property, claiming it acquired title in 2010 and discovered in 2020 that the first respondent was occupying it without authorization. The first respondent raised preliminary points, including that the application was improperly served on his 12-year-old daughter. The court upheld the point regarding improper service and struck the application off the roll.
