By means of a decree delivered by the Court of Appeal, Inferior jurisdiction, on the 25th June, 2025, in the records of Application Number 37/2018 in the names Monica Magro (ID 0193553M) and Carmen Houlton (ID 0812950M) vs Jesmond Vassallo (ID 0050268M), Maria Therese Tabone (ID 0259065M) and Mark Vassallo (ID 0177570M) the following publication was ordered for the purpose of effecting service on Mark Vassallo and Jesmond Vassallo in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12.

Whereas in Appeal Application number 37/2018 filed on the 7th October 2024, the appellant Maria Therese Tabone felt aggrieved by the Rent Regulation Board decision delivered on the 24th September, 2024, on the ground that this Board made a wrong appreciation of the law due to the lack of juridical interest and the untimeliness of the plaintiffs’ action in that for the owners/applicants to have a legal and juridical interest in order to be able to promote this action it was necessary that payment was effected on their part with the resulting subrogation of ARMS Limited in their favour. Thus the same applicants were not yet creditors of anyone, because they had not made the payment to ARMS.

Therefore, the applicant respectfully requests this Honourable Court to cancel and revoke the judgment in the names premised delivered by the Rent Regulation Board on the 24th September, 2024, and uphold the third plea by the applicants with the costs of both instances against the appellants.

Appeal Application number 37/2018 in the names Monica Magro and Carmen Houlton vs Jesmond Vassallo, Maria Therese Tabone and Mark Vassallo has been deferred for hearing to the 24th September, 2025, at 10.00 a.m.

By means of a decree given by this Court on the 28th July, 2025, following a request by Ulf Christer Larsson et noe  vs deputy curators to represent the respondent or his heirs  in the records of the schedule of deposit number 1444/2025 in the names Ulf Christer Larsson et noe vs  deputy curators  and in the other relative and subsequent acts.

By means of a schedule of deposit and redemption of groundrent, number 1444/2025 in the names of Ulf Christer Larsson, Swedish passport numbered 96334247, son of  Sven and Rut Larsson neè Hansson, born in  Malmo, Sweden, on the 15th May, 1949 and residing at ‘Dressyrvagen’, 6, 246 50 Loddekopinge, Sweeden, represented by his mandatory Peter-Jan Grech (ID 0298280M); and Michael Kissaun (ID 0479857M), divorced, son of Alphonse Maria Gerald Kissaun and Antoinette Catherine Kissaun neè Pecorella, born in Pietà on the 9th July 1958 and residing at 33, La Miradora, Triq G. Despott, Kappara, San Ġwann vs deputy curator to represent the unknown successors in title of Gaudenzio Vella, businessman, unknown identification number, son of  Calzedonio and Giuseppa neè Cachia,  filed in the First Hall of the Civil Court on the 14th July, 2025 the applicants Peter-Jan Grech noe and Michael Kissaun respectfully submitted:

The applicants together are the owners of:

ʻthe perpetual domestic utile of a divisible portion of land forming part of the field known as “Tal-Twiela” sive “Ta' Taliana” in the vicinity of Kappara limits of St Julian's, measuring superficially one hundred and eighty square canes (180 sq.c) including part of a private road half of the projected new road’s width, garden and building site bounded on the south by the private road, on the east by the projected new road and on the west by the rest of the same land subject to the rate of annual and perpetual groundrent of forty five liri (£45), better delineated in the attached plan marked with the letter “A”...”

A site plan is being attached indicating the land in question with the colour red which is being marked as “Doc A” and this in terms of Article 1501 of Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta.

The land was originally acquired from Paolo Grixti, Robert Eminyan and Gustav Ricci from Gaudenzio Vella as part of a larger land and this by means of a contract in the records of Notary George Bonello du Puis dated 10th August, 1961 (copy of this deed hereby attached and marked as Doc B). The overall land of Gaudenzio Vella in that deed (measuring 730 square canes) was subject to an annual and perpetual ground rent in the amount of one hundred and eighty one liri (LM181).

This land was subsequently acquired by Alphonse Maria Kissaun during his marriage with Antoinette Catherine Kissaun nee 'Pecorella, by onerous title from Paolo Grixti, Robert Eminyan and Gustav Ricci, by virtue of a contract published in the records of Notary George Bonello du Puis of the 6th October, 1962 and subject to an annual and perpetual groundrent proportionate to the size of 180 square canes, of forty five Maltese Liri (LM 45), equivalent to one hundred and four Euro and eighty five cents (€104.85). (copy of this deed hereby attached and marked as Doc. C)

Alphonse Maria Gerald Kissaun died on the 26th October ,1996, and by virtue of his will published in the records of Notary Clyde La Rosa of the 8th June, 1988, he bequeathed the use and usufruct of his patrimony in favour of his wife, Antoinette Catherine Kissaun, and nominated his two (2) children as heirs, namely Sylvia Larsson neè Kissaun and Michael Kissaun.

His part in the property in question was declared in a declaration causa mortis published in the records of Notary Peter Fleri-Soler of the 16th April, 1997 (copy of the note of registration of this act hereby attached and marked as Doc. D).

The wife of Alphonse Maria Gerald Kissaun, or rather Antoinette Catherine Kissaun neè Pecorella, died on the 14th June, 2000, and by virtue of her will published in the records of Notary Clyde La Rosa of the 8th June, 1988, she revoked and annulled all the wills prior, bequeathing the use and usufruct in favour of her deceased husband and nominated her children, or rather Sylvia Larsson neè Kissaun and Michael Kissaun, as her sole universal heir.

Her relative share in the property in question was declared by means of a declaration causa mortis published in the records of Notary Peter Fleri-Soler of the 1st November, 2000 (copy of this deed hereby attached and marked as Doc .E).

Sylvia Larsson neè Kissaun died intestate in Malta on 11 April, 2017, and by virtue of her last will of Sweden of 19 October, 2010, she nominated her husband, Ulf Larsson, as her sole universal heir.

Her relative share in the property in question was declared by means of a declaration causa mortis published in the records of Notary Louisa Vella Bardon of the 22nd February, 2018 (copy of this deed hereby attached and marked as Doc. F).

Consequently, and as already stated, the applicants today are the only two owners of the property in question.

By means of this schedule of deposit, the applicants wish in the first place and in order to exonerate themselves from all responsibility, to deposit the groundrent for the last five years. Thus the applicants are depositing the sum of five hundred twenty four Euro and twenty five cents (€524.25) representing the annual and perpetual groundrent in the amount of forty five Maltese Liri (LM45), equivalent to one hundred and four Euro and eighty five cents (€104.85), of the last five years.

In the second place, the applicants wish to avail themselves of the option given to them in Article 1501 of Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta and redeem the groundrent in the amount of forty five Maltese Liri (LM45), equivalent to one hundred and four Euros and eighty five cents (€104.85) which was constituted as explained above. The groundrent on this portion of land is to be redeemed by capitalising the sum due of the groundrent at the rate of five per cent. Thus the amount of one hundred and four Euro and eighty five cents (€104.85) due as groundrent to the respondents above mentioned capitalised at the rate of five per cent amounts to the total of two thousand ninety seven Euro (€2,097).

Thus the applicants are humbly calling upon this Honourable Court and under its authority are depositing the sum of two thousand six hundred twenty one Euro and twenty five cents (€2,621.25), which sum represents (i) the arrears of groundrent of the last five years (ii) as well as redemption of this annual and perpetual groundrent, and this so that this sum be withdrawn by whoever has the right to it according to law after leaving the duly receipt according to law.

You are also ordered to inform each one that if he fails to make this declaration within the stipulated time, the Court will proceed to the selection of Curators of Office.

Whereas in Appeal Application No 765/2022 filed on the 28th February, 2025 the appellant company felt aggrieved by the judgment decided by the First Hall Civil Court on the 30th January, 2025 inter alia because the Honourable First Court, erroneously and without the respondent presenting any concrete proof, chose to believe the respondent’s version who said that he was living with his mother at the time she died and was occupying the premises at the termination of the emphyteusis in the year 2012. However, the occupation of the premises by the respondent does not result from a title of lease but from a temporary emphyteutical concession of more than thirty years, which lapsed in the year 2012.

Therefore, the appellant company humbly requests that this Honourable Court of Appeal grants this appeal, revokes the judgment given by the First Hall Civil Court dated 30th January 2025, and upholds the appellants’ demands by finding that the respondent Sydney Ellul Sullivan is occupying the premises with address number 6, Triq St. John Bosco Sliema, without any valid title at Law, since the temporary emphyteutical concession dated 8th November, 1987 lapsed on the 7th November, 2012, and thus the premises is to revert back ipso jure to the appellants with improvements in terms of Article 1521 et seq of Cap 16 of Laws of Malta and the respondent shall be evicted within a short and peremptory period fixed by the Court of Appeal; with costs of the First Instance and of the present Appeal procedures at the expense of the respondent, including legal interests applicable from the date of the first judgment.

Whereas in Constitutional Appeal Application No. 221/21 filed on the 24th November, 2023 the State Advocate felt aggrieved by the judgment delivered on the 15th November, 2023 by the First Hall of the Civil Court (Constitutional jurisdiction) as regards the compensation awarded both in relation to the amount granted and also for the period covered by the compensation. The compensation had to be liquidated till the date of entry into force of Article 12B of Cap 158 of the Laws of Malta and not till the year 2021. Moreover, the compensation awarded by the first court is excessive.
