Facts
Plaintiff claims defendant forcibly occupied her property despite eviction orders. Plaintiff alleges harassment and threats from defendant.
Issues
- Whether respondent should be evicted from the suit land

Reasoning
The court's jurisdiction to determine disputes in relation to ownership of land was transferred to the Environment and Land Court by the Environment and Land Court Act of 2012. The application is therefore outside the court's jurisdiction.
