Holding
The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim and counterclaim, finding that the oral agreement was not enforceable and that the plaintiff's claim was time-barred.
Facts
The plaintiff, Oseko, claims to have bought a portion of land measuring 50 x 150 feet from the defendants, Ochako. The defendants later subdivided the land into two portions, creating parcels Bassi/Bogetaorio II/4177 and 4178, with the disputed portion falling within the latter.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiff has a valid claim to the disputed land
- Whether the defendants' actions in subdividing the land were in accordance with the law
Reasoning
The court ruled that the oral agreement between the plaintiff and the defendants was not capable of being enforced, and that the plaintiff's claim was time-barred as it was filed more than 12 years after the alleged sale.
Outcome
The plaintiff's claim and counterclaim were dismissed with costs.
