A claimant filed a case against a local council before the court. He requested the court to dismiss the decision made by the council by which the palm trees planted in his land were removed. He said that the council did not undertake the required procedures in order to expropriate the land in which the trees were planted.

The court considered the documents of the case. The court said that the claimant requested the court to dismiss the mentioned decision though the trees were already removed. The court said that the decision therefore no longer existed.

The court dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal.

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
