TypeLand DisputePostureAppeal from a ruling and order of Senior Resident Magistrate SiayaCoramANTONY OMBWAYO
Holding
The appeal is allowed, the judgment and decree are set aside, and the 1st Respondent is condemned to pay costs.
Facts
The deceased was registered as the absolute proprietor of the land, but it was later registered in the name of the 1st Respondent. The appellants claim the property should be declared the deceased's and seek a declaration and orders to reconstruct the register.
Issues
- Validity of the registration of the property in the name of the 1st Respondent
- Fraudulent transfer of the property
Reasoning
The court finds that transferring property registered in the names of a deceased person to another person without a proper succession cause and transmission is evidence of a fraud. The evidence on record was sufficient to find otherwise.
Outcome
Appeal successful
Orders
- Judgment and decree set aside
- 1st Respondent pays costs
Remedies
- Declaration that the deceased is the registered absolute proprietor of the land
- Orders to reconstruct the register
