Holding

The 3rd Defendant's application to strike out the plaintiffs' suit is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The 1st Defendant sold a parcel of land to the 1st Plaintiff, subdivided it, and combined it with another parcel to illegally approve its subdivision. The plaintiffs sought a declaration, rectification, and an injunction.

Issues

  1. Declaration of illegal combination and subdivision
  2. Rectification of the register
  3. Injunction against further dealing

Reasoning

The court found that the 3rd Defendant, a self-help organization, has no legal entity and can only sue through its office bearers. The plaintiffs' suit is not frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of the process.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
