Holding
The defendants lack legal authority to appoint the 1st defendant as a manager of the property.
Facts
The plaintiffs claim to manage a property under a five-year contract, while defendants argue they are the rightful owners based on a succession suit.
Issues
- Ownership of the property after the death of the original owner
- Validity of the property management contract
Reasoning
The succession suit has determined the ownership of the property, and the administrators must act together in managing the estate. The contract entered into by the plaintiffs is invalid as it was made after the final distribution of the estate.
Outcome
The defendants are restrained from interfering with the running of the suit property.
