The submissions of both counsel have also been duly considered by the Court and it is the Court’s opinion that there are triable issues e.g. who is actually entitled to the land which is the subject matter of the substantive suit, which can only be determined when evidence has been heard in this matter. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%;tab-stops:263.3pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">In the meantime since both plaintiff and the 1<sup>st</sup> defendant are claiming that they each have erected buildings on the land, both are restrained by the Court from dealing with the subject matter pending the final determination of the substantive suit on its merits.
