JUDGMENT

APPAU, JSC

This is a second appeal by the Appellant who was Plaintiff in the trial High Court. He sued the Respondent herein and the Lands Commission as 2nd and 1st Defendants respectively, in respect of lands he described as ‘Bundase lands’. The 1st Defendant (Lands Commission) only entered appearance to the writ but did not contest the action. It was only the Respondent (a limited liability company) that contested the action.
