By means of a decree given by the First Hall Civil Court on the 11th August, 2020, by this Court (AF) in the records of the Sworn Application in the names Lautier Ludwig et vs Yelf Hazel Mary, Application Number 362/2020 AF, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of service of the respondents Ludwig Lautier and Sian Jennifer Lautier, in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12.

By means of a Sworn Application filed in the First Hall Civil Court, in the records of the Application (following the judgement) of the 3rd December, 2019, Application Number 195/18 FDP, in the names Ludwig Lautier (ID 235481M) and Sian Jennifer Lautier (Passport of England 510590211) vs Hazel Mary Yelf (ID 60466A) on the 27th May, 2020, the applicant David Housley (ID 186301L) and his wife Mary Carmen (sive Marlene) Housley (ID 377257M) as heirs of Hazel Mary Yelf, in terms of Article 811 et sequitur of Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta, respectfully pleaded:

1. That the applicants are the sole heirs of Hazel Mary Yelf née Sinclair (previously holder of identity card number 60466A) who passed away on the 5th August, 2019 (certificate of death annexed Doc. H1) and this in terms of the last will of the same Hazel Mary Yelf of the 11th November, 2016, as indicated in the application.

… omissis …

3. That the decujus Hazel Mary Yelf was the owner of the apartment number four (4), Vista Terrace, Triq l-Iskuna, Qawra, limits of Saint Paul's Bay, which she acquired together with her husband by a contract of the 29th September, 2019, and subsequently she inherited her husband's share after her death.

4. That from a search that the applicants subsequently made it resulted that by means of a judgement of the 3rd December, 2019, the First Hall Civil Court had amongst others ordered that Hazel Mary Yelf, to honour the preliminary agreement regarding the property of the 2nd February, 2016, and declared that the respondent is bound to sell and assign the premises or apartment number four (4), Vista Terrace, Triq l-Iskuna, Qawra, l/o San Pawl il-Baħar, the applicants Ludwig Lautier and Sian Jennifer Lautier, as stated in this application.

… omissis …

15. That the interpellants are upholding, as stated in the application, that there were various defaults which brought about the lack of observation of the principle of natural justice and the fundamental right to a fair hearing and this because Hazel Mary Yelf was denied the opportunity to conduct her own defence in the procedures mentioned and this despite that as stated she would certainly have done this if she knew about procedures.

Thus in view of that premised in the application the applicant David Housley (ID 186301L) and his wife Mary Carmen (sive Marlene) Housley (ID 377257M) respectfully pray this Honourable Court:

1. To declare and decide that there exist suifficient reasons for a new trial according to law in terms of Article 811(b) of Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta.

2. In default declare and decide that there exist sufficient reasons for a new trial according to law in terms of Article 811(a) of Cap 12 of the Laws of Malta, since the judgement was obtained by the decided of Hazel Mary Yelf.

3. Consequently cancel and annul the judgement of the First Hall Civil Court of the 3rd December, 2019, in the names Ludwig Lautier et vs Hazel Mary Yelf (Application number 195/18 FDP) and uphold the other demands in the application.

With costs against the respondents Lautier who are from now summoned so that a reference to their evidence be made.

By means of a decree given by the Court of Appeal on the 11th March, 2020, in the records of the Application in the names Jason Calleja vs Carmela sive Charmaine Calleja, Application Number 291/07, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of service of the respondent Carmela sive Charmaine Calleja, in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12.

By means of an Application presented in the Court of Appeal, Application Jason Calleja vs Carmela sive Charmaine Calleja, Application Number 291/97, on the 23rd December, 2019, the applicant Jason Calleja (ID 401174M) respectfully pleaded:

That by means of a Sworn Application presented on the 13th July, 2007, the applicant appellant asked the Honourable Court:

1. To pronounce the personal separation between the parties.

2. To declare dissolved the community of acquests existing between the parties.

… omissis …

With costs against the respondent from now summoned so that a reference to her evidence be made.

The defendant respondent by means of her reply pleaded the following:

1. That the tort for the marriage is solely mputable to the applicant Jason Calleja.

2. That the interpellant has long been a victim of psychological violence due to the behaviour of the applicant.

3. That furthermore in the present case the sanctions stipulated in Articles 48 and/or 51 to 55 of the Civil Code Cap. 16 are not applicable.

That the Honourable First Court disposed of the cause and decided:

1. To uphold limitedly the first demand by pronouncing the personal separation between the parties because the marriage irretrievably broke down but the fault is imputable to both parties equally.

2. Uphold the second demand.

3. Uphold the third demand.

With costs to be paid equally between the parties.

That the plaintiff felt aggrieved by the judgement given by the Honourable First Court.

… omissis …

That the grievances are clear and consist in the following:

1.         Grievance - Wrong evalutation of the proof

That the appellant humbly submits that the Court of First Instance made a manifestly wrong appreciation of the proof.

Tort for the breakdown of the marriage

Despite that the defendant respondent tried to create an argumentation in her favour, her same thesis is contradictory and not credible for the simple reason that from the proof produced and from the records of the cause it is evident that the marriage between the parties broke down solely due to the harsh and manipulative behaviour of the defendant towards her husband.

… omissis …

Credibility of the witness

That when both parties have blamed each other and the divergencies between them are evident, it is a well-established fact that the Court has the duty to examine the credibility of the witness … omissis … That with all respect the Honourable Court of First Instance was mistaken when it held that from an examination of the proof it appears that the two parties had a litigious character that rendered conjugal life impossible. It is true that there were several arguments between the parties, but the plaintiff certainly cannot be described as a person who has a litigious character. This is certainly unjust.

2. Grievance - Liquidation of the community of acquests

The Court of First Instance upheld the second demand of the appellant plaintiff and declared dissolved the commnutity of acquests.

… omissis …

That the grievances resulting from this head of the judgement are mutiple and consist in the following:

… omissis …

3. Grievance - All the sanctions contemplated in Article 48 of the Civil Code

It has to to be specified that the plaintiff agrees with the third heading of the judgement since the Court of First Instance upheld the third demand of the plaintiff and applied against the defendant all the sanctions contemplated in Article 48 of the Civil Code.

… omissis …

Thus once the Court of First Instance was very clear as regards the applications of these sanctions in their entirety, it had to be equally certain how this sanction had to be applied. Since from the proof produced it appears clear that the plaintiff had one and a second job, whilst the defendant never worked except during the beginning of the marriage, the defendant thus lost the right to one half of the acquests made by the work of the plaintiff.

Conclusion

Thus the interpellant whilst referring to all the proof produced and that which can be produced according to law at this stage for reasons above brought forward, humbly appeals this judgement of the Civil Court (Family Section) of the 12th December, 2019, in the names Jason Calleja vs Carmela sive Charmaine Calleja (291/07) and humbly prays this Honouranble Court to reform and vary the judgement appealed, as mentioned in this application.

With costs of both instances against the respondent plaintiff.

By means of a decree of the 17th September, 2019, of the Rent Regulation Board, in the records of the Application in the names Kenneth Azzopardi vs Wakiel Farouq et, Application Number 116/19JD, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of effecting service on the respondents Farouq Wakiel and Houria Wakiel in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of the Code of Organisation and Civil Procedure (Cap. 12).

By means of an application in the names Kenneth Azzopardi (ID 0117253M) vs Farouq Wakiel (ID 0201710L) and Houria Wakiel (ID 0233012L) filed before the Rent Regulation Board on the 4th June, 2019, the applicant Kenneth Azzopardi submitted with respect:

That by means of an agreement dated 7th September, 2016 (attached and marked as Doc. A) the applicant rented the premises that is the shop number 68, Triq Mannarino, Birkirkara to the respondents for ten (10) years;

That according to clause number 4.6 the respondents obliged themselves, as lessees, to pay all utility and service bills within ten days from the issue of such bill. In this regard the lessee is hereby obliging himself to pay the sum of €500 every month in advance for the payment of the water and electricity bill. On the issue of the bill the parties will settle the difference immediately;

The respondents never paid the five hundred a month in advance but they paid the bill once a copy was given to them;

That the respondents terminated the lease in July 2018 but returned the keys in August 2018 and thus they left pending ARMS bills in the amount of €1746.50 (€1514.82 + €231.68) (bills attached and marked as Doc. B and C);

Thus this amount is certain, liquid and due and there exist all the elements required by the provisions of Article 16A of the Reletting of Urban Property Ordinance Cap. 69 so that the requests of the applicant, for the payment of the amount of services due, be decided without proceeding to trial because as far as the applicant knows the respondents do not have any defences against the requests of the applicant;

The respondents were solicited to pay the amount due but remained in default.

Therefore, subject to any declaration that this Board deems fit, the applicant requests with respect for the reasons premised so that this Board:

1. Decides the request of the applicant in terms of Article 16A of the Reletting of Urban Property Ordinance so that it will be decided without proceeding to trial.

2. Orders the same respondents to pay the applicant the amount of €1746.50 due by them as above mentioned.

With costs and legal interest against the respondents that are from now summoned so that a reference to their oath be made.

Applicant: 26, Serene, Triq l-Għarbiel, Swieqi

Notification: Farouq Wakiel and Houria Wakiel, 70, Zentil, Triq il-Kavallieri ta' Malta, Marsaskala

The application in the names Kenneth Azzopardi vs Wakiel Farouq et, Application Number 116/2019JD, has been postponed for hearing to the 24th September, 2020, at 9.00 a.m.
