To the Marshall of the Court

By means of a decree given by this Court on the 10th May, 2019, following a request by Kevin Sammut it was ordered that deputy curators be chosen to represent Joseph Debattista, Giuseppe Pace and Giacono Cassar Desain, or their predecessors in title and the unknown owner or owners in the acts of the schedule of deposit number 857/2019 in the names Kevin Sammut vs Deputy Curators and in the other relative and subsequent acts.

By means of a schedule of deposit and concurrent redemption of ground rent filed in the First Hall of the Civil Court, in the names Kevin Sammut (ID 293881M) son of Maurice and Rita née Grech, born in Tal-Pietà on the 26th May, 1981, vs deputy curators to respresent Joseph Debattista, Giuseppe Pace and Giacomo Cassar Desain or their their predecessors in title and of the unknown direct owner or owners, on the 9th May, 2019, the applicant Kevin Sammut respectfully submitted:

The applicant is the owner of the premises, or rather mezzanine number 89, previously 18, in Triq il-Flotta, Gżira. The same premises is better described on the site plan here attached and marked as Doc. KS1;

The applicant acquired the premises de quo by a deed of sale in the records of Notary Malcolm Lauri dated 21st March, 2019, a copy of which is attached and marked as Doc. KS2;

The premises are subject to the annual and perpetual groundrent and sub-groundrent of Lm3.57 equivalent to €8.32 payable to the respondents. For all intents and purposes, a copy of the sub-emphyteutical concession in the records of Notary Joseph Raymond Grech dated 8th August, 1953, is being here attached and marked as Doc. KS3, and another sub-emphyteutical concession in the acts of Notary Giovanni Azzopardi dated 24th October, 1931, is marked as Doc. KS4;

The applicant wishes to avail itself of the option in Article 1501 of the Civil Code and thus redeem the groundrent and sub-groundrent abovementioned;

The applicant does not know to whom the groundrent is payable and thus it is not being paid;

Consequently, with this shedule of deposit the applicant is filing an application for the appointment of deputy curators to represent the interests of the unknown direct owners;

The annual and perpetual groundrent and sub-groundrent is that of €8.32, which capitalised at the rate of 5% amounts to €166.40;

The applicant company wishes to pay 5 years groundrent and that is the sum of €41.60. And also, the applicant is presently paying the sum of €8.32 equivalent to one year groundrent, representing the amount of laudemium due to the respondents.

Thus, the applicant company is calling upon this Honourable Court and under its authority is depositing the total amount of €216.32 which amount may be freely withdrawn by the respondents after leaving the relative receipt according to law.

Kevin Sammut, Neos, Block A, Flat 5, Triq tas-Sisla, Msida
