KCC 488/2001

This case involved a tenancy agreement for state property which had not been fulfilled. A key point was whether an additional defendant should be added to the case.

Background

A claimant as a representative of her mother filed a case against two defendants before the court. She requested the court to validate a tenancy agreement signed between the state and her. She said that she finished all the proceedings to benefit from the rented property but the state failed to hand it over. She then added a new defendant to the case

The court ruled that the tenancy agreement should be validated.

The defendants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The defendants appealed the ruling through the request for reconsideration. The court dismissed this request.

Decision

The defendants appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. They said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. They said that the claimant had added the third defendant to the case and that he could not defend his case.
