Holding

The motion has no merit and is dismissed. The court finds no evidence of change of user or subdivision of the land.

Facts

On 28/5/2019, the court issued conservatory orders restraining respondents from subdividing, allocating, transferring, or dealing with the suit land. The respondents have since commenced change of user and subdivision of the land.

Issues

  1. Whether the respondents' actions amount to contempt of court
  2. Whether the applicant has satisfied the grounds for an allegation of contempt of court

Reasoning

The court finds no evidence of change of user or subdivision of the land, and the applicant's witness deposition lacks credible evidence.

Outcome

Motion dismissed
