That the appeal filed by Andrew Penza is unfounded and is to be rejected with costs and this since the appellant had every opportunity to bring forward his proof and once he did not bring them forward he cannot expectthat the Court of Appeal do what the Court of First Instance should have done.
That the applicant is availing himself of this appeal reply to file an incidental appeal.
That by means of a Writ of Summons, filed on the 12th August 2002, the plaintiffs premised that by means of a contract of partition and assignment of the 25th August 1986 records Notary George Cassar, between Francis, Andrewand Gaetano Penza, Francis Penza father and predecessor of the plaintiffs was assigned three portions of land in Ta’ Gonzales, Ħal Luqa, marked B1, B2, and B3, in the plan attached with the said contract ...omissis... and left in common another contiguous land to serve as access for the plots in partition.
They alleged that Andrew Penzabuilt on part of the plots assigned to him but invaded and built on part of the common property rerserved as access.
The plaintifs demanded that it be declared that the plaintiffs are the owners of the land Ta’ Gonzales Hal Luqa, marked B1, B2 and B3, on the plan attached with the said contract of the 25th August 1986, in the records of Notary George Cassar.
That in virtue of the judgement of the First Hall Civil Court, of the 21st May 2008, the Court, decided by upholding the first, the second, the fourth and the fifth and sixth demand of the plaintiffs and as regards the sixth demand it ordered that the defendant Penza pay as compensation to the plaintiffs the sum of €74.653.16 and the company Darkar Limited to pay also to the plaintiffs the sum of €44,378.13 and abstained from taking cognizance of the other demands.
That the applicant felt aggrieved by part of this judgement and is thus filing the present appeal.
That the facts in brief are the following.
...omissis...
That the grievance is clear and manifest and consists in the following:
1. That when the applicant acquired the property by means of a contract in the records of Notary Pierre Falzon, herein mentioned he acquired this property in good faith and built or rather developed the same land on the lines given to him by the vendor Andrew Penza. He passed on to build the same property and sold part of it to the other defendants and the applicant upholds that in the same manner the other defendants were completely freed except for the head of costs, by the same reasoning of the Court of First Instance he should have been freed.
The whole problem in this cause arose exclusively due to the behaviour of the defendant Andrew Penza and in the same manner that the co-defendants were not held to blame the applicant should not be blamed for the mistake of Andrew Penza and consequently any compensation payable to the plaintiffs should be paid exclusively to the defendant Andrew Penza and not the applicant.
2. That without prejudice to the above and subsidiarily since the applicant acquired the property from Andrew Penza, it is humbly submitted that in any case if the applicant shall be held responsible also for the payment of the sum as liquidated by the Honourable First Court or as can be liquidated by this Court, the defendant Andrew Penza should similarily be condemned to pay such compensation with the applicants.
3. In the third place the quantum liquidated is exagerated.
Thus the applicants whilst referring to the proof produced and reserve to produce that further proof permissible to him according to law, respectfully prays that this Honourable Court, reforms the judgement appealed in the sense that therebe cancelled that part whereby the appellant company be condemned to pay €44,378.13to the applicants and part of the expenses or in case that this demand is not upheld and in case he is condemned to pay any amount to the plaintiffs, the same amount be added with the amount which is to be paid to the defendant Penza which in this added part be held responsible in solidum,and furthermore the compensation payable to the plaintiffs be reduced.
With costs.
