Holding

The Applicants are not necessary parties to the suit for a complete adjudication of the suit.

Facts

The Applicants purchased sub-divisions of the suit property from the 8th Defendant in 2008, but were not registered as proprietors. The Plaintiff claims the 8th, 9th, and 10th Defendants have no good title.

Issues

  1. Whether the Applicants are necessary parties to the suit
  2. Whether the Applicants' interests can be ventilated by the existing parties

Reasoning

The Applicants were not registered as proprietors of the purchased parcels and did not exhibit executed and attested Sale Agreements. The Plaintiff's claim against the 8th, 9th, and 10th Defendants is sufficient to determine ownership.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs

Orders

  • Application for enjoining necessary parties dismissed
