1. The plaintiffs, together with the defendants, including those unknown or unascertained, are the owners of the mezzanine premises situated on the second floor (first floor), with its airspace, at address number thirty one (31) in Triq Gafa, Ħamrun (the “property”);

2. Originally the property belonged to John Caruana who died on the 19th June, 1956, and who by will of the 28th November, 1949, had nominated Joseph Caruana Soler and the children of Carmelo Caruana, among other persons, as his universal heir (death certificate, testimonial searches, and testimonies, and will of John Caruana annexed as Doc. A, Doc. B, and Doc. C);

3. The share of the said Joseph Caruana Soler of this inheritance was thirteen out of twenty four (13/24) parts, while the share of the said children of Carmelo Caruana was one out of twelve (1/12) parts;

4. Joseph Caruana Soler died on the 25th April, 1999, and by will unica charta of the 15th September, 1957, he had nominated the plaintiffs Caruana Soler, and namely his children, together with their deceased brother Edward Caruana Soler, as his only universal heir (death certificate, testementary searches, and will of Joseph Caruana Soler annexed as Doc. D, Doc. E, and Doc. F);

5. The said plaintiff brother, Edward Caruana Soler, died on the 7th October, 2024, and by will of the 21st July, 2022, nominated the plaintiff Caruana Soler as his universal heir (death certificate, testamentary searches, and will of Edward Caruana Soler annexed as Doc. G, Doc. H, and Doc. I);

6. The plaintiffs Caruana Soler alone are thus the owners of thirteen out of twenty four (13/24) undivided shares of the said premises (circa 54%), whilst the plaintiffs Gauci, together with all the defendants, including those unknown, are the owners of the remaining 11/24 undivided share of the same premises;

7. By means of a preliminary agreement signed on 25th June, 2025, as amended on 14th July, 2025, and 21st July, 2025, the plaintiffs undertook to sell the property to third party Kevin Attard, for the total price of €250,000 (Doc. J);

8. The share due to the defendants Giorgio and the defendants Cilia from this sale is negligible (1/420 and 1/2100 respectively), and thus they chose not to sign the preliminary agreement;

9. This price is fair and reflects the value of the property on the market after taking into consideration the various structural and renovation works already carried out by the third party purchaser, as confirmed by reports drawn up by architect George Farrugia (Doc. K), by architect John J. Papagiorcopulo (Doc. L);

10. Apart from the plaintiffs Caruana Soler, the plaintiffs Gauci, the defendants Giorgio and the defendants Cilia, there are other owners who are not ascertained or unknown, and thus they are unable to cooperate so that the property is sold at the price and other conditions stipulated in the preliminary agreement. Thus, at the same time an application is being filed for the appointment of curators;

11. The defendants shall not be prejudiced if this Court authorises the sale of the property at the price and other conditions stipulated in the preliminary agreement above mentioned;

12. The property has been held in common for more than three years, and furthermore there is no action before a tribunal or other court for the partition of the same property.

Thus, the plaintiffs respectfully pray that this Honourable Court:

1. Authorise the sale of the mezzanine premises on the second floor (first floor), with its airspace, number thirty one (31) in Triq Gafa, Ħamrun, with all its rights and appurtenances, at the price, pacts and other conditions stipulated in the preliminary agreement signed on 25th June, 2025, as duly amended on the 14th July, 2025, and 21st July, 2025, and as agreed between the plaintiffs and the third party purchaser, and all this in terms of Article 495A of Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta;

2. Establish the time, day and place when and where the transfer is to take place;

3. Appoint Notary Dr Nicholas Briffa to publish the relative deed of sale;

4. Appoint deputy curators in case the defendants or either of whom fail to appear before the said Notary for the publication of the contract of sale so authorised.

The Sworn application number 904/2025AJD in the names mentioned above is postponed to the 26th March, 2026, at 9.15 a.m.
