Holding
The application is dismissed, and the applicants are ordered to pay the respondent's costs.
Facts
The applicants alleged that the respondent company was not registered as a legal entity and that the auction leading to the sale of the property was invalid due to the non-registration of the auctioneer.
Issues
- Whether the respondent company was a registered legal entity at the time of the property sale.
- Whether the auctioneer was duly licensed to conduct the auction in 1991.
Reasoning
