By means of a decree of the 27th Jannar, 2026, of the Civil Court, First Hall, in the records of judicial letter number 3463/2025, in the names Neville Farrugia vs Annette Avery, the following publication was ordered for the purpose of effecting service in terms of Article 187(3) of Cap. 12.

In the First Hall of the Civil Court

To Annette Avery of 34, Triq Annibale Preca, Ħal Lija, Malta

By the present Neville Farrugia (ID 229985M) and Crystielle Farrugia Cortis (ID 137286M), of 19, Ħarruba, Triq Vilhena, Ħaż-Żebbuġ, Malta, refer to internal shaft at premises 123 (previously 101), Triq San Ġużepp, Senglea, which shaft is wholly owned by the interpellants (deed of acquisition of the premises dated 26th September, 2018, together with the site plan of the same, attached and marked Doc. A). That the respondent Avery, owner of the overlying premises, makes use of the same shaft and this by means of various pipes and drain pipes which serve her premises.

That the respondent burdened this existing servitude, by adding a number of pipes and changing some others in the said shaft and all this without the consent of the interpellants and in violation of Article 475 of the Civil Code (Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta). Furthermore, the respondent deteriorated the same shaft and this after closing an opening which she had abusively opened and the work carried out was of a much inferior quality. Photos exhibiting these various actions of the respondent can be found here attached and marked Doc. B1, B2 and B3.

For these reasons, the interpellants are calling upon the respondent to return the shaft to its pre-existing state by removing the new pipes, restoring those pipes which have been changed and cleaning and restoring the walls of the same shaft to the way they were. In default of this, the interpellants will proceed further against the respondent without any other prior notice, whilst reserving any right to hold the respondent responsible for the damages caused to them due to the same changes in the positioning of the pipes and the default of the respondent.

So much so that the respondent may know how to regulate herself

With costs
