That by operation of the legal provisions in accordance with Cap. 604 of the Laws of Malta it results that the effects of the lease contract have been extended for another year and therefore with effect until the twentieth (20th) of May, of the year two thousand and twenty-five (2025);

That apart from this the respondent failed to pay the electricity and water bills in the amount of three hundred and thirty-nine euro and sixty cents (€339.60) and this is as may be seen from the copy of the bills here annexed and marked as Doc. C;

That despite all that has been established, as well as despite the fact that the same respondent was called upon several times to pay the amount due to the claimant, including through legal letter number 737/2024, she remained in default and did not pay.

That in terms of the Law, the applicants are entitled to request the termination of the lease agreement, as well as the eviction of the respondent from the premises in question, apart from being ordered to pay all amounts owed to the same applicants;

That in addition the applicants state that as far as they know the respondent has no defence to offer against their claim and therefore the necessary requirements under Article 16A of Cap. 69 of the Laws of Malta also subsist for this Board to decide the claim without proceeding to the hearing of the case;

That the applicants declare that they know these facts personally and all this is confirmed by means of the sworn declaration annexed herewith together with this application;

That therefore, in light of the above, the applicant respectfully requests this Honourable Board to:

1. Accede to the request and proceed to the decision through the special summary procedure in terms of Article 16A of Cap. 69 of the Laws of Malta given that the respondent has no defence to offer against the request,

2. Declares that the respondent is in arrears in the payment of the rent due in accordance with the agreement between the parties, in the amount of three thousand euro (€3,000) representing rent as well as the amount of three hundred and thirty-nine Euros and sixty cents (€339.60) representing electricity and water bills, without prejudice to any further amount until the date of termination of this lease,

3. Authorises the applicants to terminate the said lease and to regain possession of the premises named ‘Alka’, Triq il-Qbajjar, Marsalforn, Żebbuġ, Gozo, leased to the respondent,

4. Order the eviction of the respondent from the premises in question within a short and peremptory period,

With costs, including those of judicial letter number 737/2024 and with legal interest until the date of effective payment against the respondent who is as of now subpoenaed for her oath.

Banns for Curators

Republic of Malta

To the Marshall of the Court

By means of a decree given by this Court on the 29th December, 2023, following a request by A. Zammit Estates Limited vs Deputy Curators to represent the heirs of the late Roberto Micallef in the records of the schedule of deposit number 2643/2023 in the names A. Zammit Estates Limited vs Deputy Curators and in the other relative and subsequent acts.

By means of a schedule of deposit and redemption of groundrent, number 2643/2023 in the names of A Zammit Estates Limited (C98096) vs Deputy Curators to represent the unknown heirs of Roberto Micallef, filed in the First Hall of the Civil Court on the 19th December, 2023, the applicant A. Zammit Estates Limited (C98096) respectfully submitted:

That by means of a contract of sale of the 22nd July, 2021, in the records of Notary Dr Hans Karl Attard (Doc. AZ1) the applicant company A. Zammit Estates Limited, acquired from Frank sive Francis Cassar the premises consisting of house number 32, Triq il-Markiż Zimmermann Barbaro, Tas-Sliema, Malta (the property) as subject to the annual and perpetual sub-groundrent €2.33. The premises are indicated in the site plan attached as Doc. AZ2;

That it results that such sub-groundrent was imposed by a notarial deed in the records of Notary Paolo Carbonaro of the 24th September, 1912, in virtue of which certain Roberto Micallef had granted the land on which eventually the property was built by sub-emphyteusis to the predecessors in title of Cassar (Doc. AZ3);

That the contract AZ3 does not state who imposed the original groundrent and to whom it is due, nor does it distinguish the respective shares due as original groundrent and the amount added as sub-groundrent. It stipulates however that the whole groundrent can be redeemed with a capitalisation rate of 3%;

That it should be stated that the said Cassar had, prior to the sale to the applicant, redeemed the groundrent by means of a schedule of deposit number 1656/2020 (attached as Doc. AZ4);

That however, in the said schedule of deposit, it was not declared that the subgroundrent is being redeemed or rather the increase imposed by Micallef and thus, out of an abundance of caution this schedule of deposit and redemption is being presented. For the purposes of this schedule of deposit, and since it is not clear how much of the ground rent of €2.33 represents the increase imposed by Micallef, an amount representing the capitalisation is being deposited at 3% of the whole amount of €2.33 and namely €77.67 so that the applicant is certain that the whole amount has been deposited.

Furthermore, the interpellant declares also that it is not easily ascertainable, even after having carried out the due searches, who are the living successors of the sub-grantee Roberto Micallef. The appointment of curators will therefore be sought in the light of that provision.

Thus, the applicant humbly calls upon this Honourable Court and is depositing under its Authority the sum of the said sum of €77.67 as price of redemption of the said perpetual sub-groundrent and for all intents and purposes also the sum of €11.65 representing the last five years sub-groundrent for a total of €89.35 to be freely withdrawn, after leaving the due receipt.

A the depositors acquired from Lorenzo Cumbo and John Vassallo by title of sub-emphyteusis the following ‘the unnumbered maisonette Renzo in Triq Mahatma Gandi, Fgura, overlying various garages and underlying another maisonette with a separate entrance’.

That the said maisonette is subject to the rate of groundrent and sub-groundrent of Lm12.67 and namely €29.50 but the applicants are not in an illogical position to state how this rate is divided between groundrent and sub-groundrent;

That the applicants are availing themselves of the faculty given to them in terms of Article 1501 of the Civil Code and are thus redeeming the groundrent premised in terms of the same law;

That the payment due for redemption calculated at the rate of 5% according to law amounts to €590;

That together with the present schedule of deposit the applicants are depositing also the sum of €147.50 representing arrears of the annual and perpetual groundrent of the years 2019 and 2024.
