Holding

The court finds the defendants' application to strike out the plaintiff's action lacks merit and dismisses it with costs to the plaintiff.

Facts

The plaintiff, Agnes Mwanza Waema, claimed that defendants Gerald Ramaker and Loise Tabu Karisa trespassed on her land in 1995. The defendants argued the case was a boundary dispute, but the plaintiff stated it was based on trespass.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff's claim is a boundary dispute or trespass.
  2. Whether the defendants' application to strike out the plaintiff's action is valid.

Reasoning

The court ruled that the plaintiff's claim is based on trespass, not a boundary dispute, and that the defendants failed to show the case was purely a boundary dispute.

Outcome

Defendants' application dismissed.

Remedies

  • Costs to the plaintiff.
