Whereas the appellant Donald Vincent Borg felt aggrieved by the judgment of the Civil Court (Family Section) decided on the 26th June, 2025, since:

For the Registrar, Civil Courts and Tribunals 

By means of a decree delivered by the Court of Appeal, Superior Jurisdiction, on the 14th October, 2025, in the records of Application number 1116/2022 in the names Robert Hornyold Strickland (ID 312013L) vs Francis Naudi (ID 629335 M) as deputy curator of Henry Charles Hornyold Strickland (British passport 005826141) absent from Malta, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of effecting service on Francis Naudi noe in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12.

Whereas in Appeal Application number 1116/2022 the appellant Robert Hornyold Strickland feels aggrieved by the judgment of the First Hall Civil Court delivered on the 10th July, 2025, on the grounds that:

1. There was a wrong application of the law by the court which also wrongly evaluated the facts regarding the second plea by the defendant and the dismissal of the plaintiff's demands; 

2. The same errors were made by the court with regard to the defendant's second plea notably regarding the airspace of the block de quo. Whereas for the reasons detailed in the application of appeal it is very evident and indeed proven that Robert Hornyold Strickland (as successor in title of Mabel Strickland) is the owner of the property merits of the cause and that is: 

a) 26, Flat 2, Triq il -Merkanti, Valletta, 

b) 26, Flat 4, Triq il -Merkanti, Valletta, 

c) 26, Flat 6, Triq il -Merkanti Valletta, 

d) 26, Flat 8, Triq il -Merkanti, Valletta, 

e) Shop 27, Triq il -Merkanti, Valletta, 

f) as well as the overlying airspace of the block. 

Whereas these properties did not belong to Thomas Hornyold Strickland and were never acquired by prescription (and/or otherwise) from Thomas Hornyold Strickland and thus the respondent should not have included the same properties in the declaration causa mortis drawn up by him following the death of Thomas Homyold Strickland. Thus in the same manner, the respondent did not acquire these properties by means of a public deed and much less by prescription and therefore he does not enjoy any title on these same properties.

Therefore, in view of the above, it is evident that the Court of First Instance based its decision on a wrong application of law and a wrong evaluation of the facts. For these reasons, the appellant humbly prays this Honourable Court to cancel and revoke the decision of the Court of First Instance, dismiss the second plea of the respondent and uphold in full the plaintiff's demands and this with the costs of both instances being both at the expense of the respondent.

The respondent did not make the due payment and hence a garnishee order number 145/2017 was filed for the amount of €4245.60, which amount represents the capital, interests and fees; 

That on the 8th of January, 2019, the Bank of Valletta plc (C2833) deposited the sum of €4245.60 and this by means of a schedule of deposit number 46/19, which sum was withdrawn;  

That on the 3rd of May, 2021, the BNF Bank plc (C41030) filed a schedule of deposit number 1197/2021 for the amount of €1467.54 in the acts of garnishee order 145/2017;

That the Bank of Valletta plc deposited the sum of €8464.65 by a schedule of deposit number 1009/2019, in which €7790.05 were withdrawn in favour of the applicant; 

That a remaining credit amount exists in favour of the condominium Kortin Park and this includes the capital, fees and interests and therefore the amount of €1467.54 deposited by BNF Bank plc as well as the balance of €674.60 deposited by BOV plc should be withdrawn in favour of the same condominium. 

Hence, the applicant requests to this Court to authorise the withdrawal of the monies deposited under its Authority in the acts of the cited schedule of deposit and this according to those provisions that the Court deems proper and appropriate.

The Court ordered the notification to the respondent with five (5) days for a reply.
