The Court acceded to the claimant's claims in part by agreeing that there was indeed a contractual tenancy in favour of the claimant, and until the Defendants fulfill their underlining obligations as stipulated in the contract, they cannot proceed to recover possession by any means whatsoever. Other notable pronouncements were made by the trial Judge in its judgment including the propriety or otherwise of an additional witness statements on oath which is silent under the rules of court inter alia.
