By means of a decree given by the Civil Court First Hall (Constitutional Jurisdiction) on the 11th September, 2019, in the records of the Constitutional Application in the names Maria Fatima Vassallo et vs Attorney General et, Application Number 129/2019 MCH, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of service of the respondents Joseph Sacco and Josephine Sacco, in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12.

By means of an Application, filed in the First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) in the names Maria Fatima Vassallo (ID 285150M) and John Edward Vassallo (ID 390646M) vs Attorney General, Joseph Alfred Sacco (ID 184046M) and Josephine Sacco (ID 777247M) on the 24th July, 2019, the applicant Maria Fatima Vassallo (ID 285150M) et respectfully pleaded:

i. That by a contract of the 13th May, 1967, in the records of Notary Doctor George Cassar hereby annexed and marked Doc. A, Pauline wife of Advocate Carmelo Caruana or rather the mother of applicant Maria Fatima Vassallo had granted by title of temporary emphyteusis for 17 years to Oscar Bugeja the premises 183 previously 157, Triq is-Sorijiet, Ħal Tarxien, towards the annual and temporary subgroundrent of €58.23 yearly which is paid every six months in advance and to start to run from the 9th May, 1967.

ii. That subsequently by a contract of the 4th November, 1970, in the records of the same Notary George Cassar hereby annexed and marked as Document B, the respondent Joseph Alfred Sacco acquired the remaining period from the said temporary emphyteutical concession from the said Oscar Bugeja.

iii. That the temporary emphyteutical concession lapsed on the 12th May, 1984, and once Joseph Alfred Sacco and his wife Josephine Sacco were Maltese citizens and ordinarily resident in the premises in question they expected that there be applied the provisions of Act XX111 of 1979 and continue to occupy the premises by title of lease with an increase according to the rate of inflation however not more than double and this once every fifteen years.

… omissis …

vi. That thus the premises in question or rather 183 previously 157, Triq is-Sorijiet, Ħal Tarxien devolved on the applicants.

… omissis …

Thus the applicants humbly pray that this Honourable Court saving any necessary and opportune declaration and for the reasons premised the respondents are to state why this Honourable Court should not:

1. Declare and decide that in regard to the applicant the provisions of Article 12 particularly Article 12(2) of Cap. 158 of the Laws of Malta as amended by Acxt XX111 of 1979 and the Act X of 2009 and the provisions of the current laws are giving the right of renewal of the lease to the respondents Joseph Alfred and Josephine Sacco and render it impossible to the applicants to take back possession of their property.

2. Consequently declare and decide that the applicant's rights of enjoyment of her property 183 previously 157, Triq is-Sorijiet, Ħal Tarxien, are being violated, in violation of Article 37 of the Constitution of Malta and the First Article of the First Protocol of the European Convention (The First Schedule of Cap 319 of the Laws of Malta) and thus give him the remedies it deems fit in the situation.

3. Declare and decide that the respondent Attorney General is responsible for compensation and damages suffered by the applicant as a consequence of the provisions of Act XX111 of 1979, which did not create a just balance between the rights of the owners and those of the lesses since they do not reflect the market nor the rental value of the property in question in terms of the European Convention.

4. Liquidate the same compensation and pecuniary and non pecuniary damages as suffered by the applicants in terms of law.
