By means of Appeal Application No 318/2018 filed on the 20th March, 2025, the appellant Conrad Galea felt aggrieved by the judgment of the Court of Magistrates (Malta) dated 26th February, 2025, insofar as it dismissed some of the pleas raised by the exponent and limitedly upheld the demands by the respondent plaintiff and is humbly filing an appeal therefrom in order to reform the same judgment, in that the exponent feels that in so far as it dismissed the pleas and limitedly upheld the other pleas, the appealed judgment is not correct in fact and at law both as regards the nature of the action and as regards the new contractual negotiation of the 29th August, 2017.

Therefore, the appellant respectfully requests that this Honourable Court reforms the mentioned judgment delivered on the 26th February, 2025, in the premised names by dismissing all the demands of the respondent plaintiff, upholding the pleas raised by the defendant appellant and regarding the costs of both instances, cancelling it and instead ordering that the costs of both instances including those of the judicial letter number 1619/2018 be borne by the respondent.

Application number 318/2018 in the names Neil Andrew Vella (ID 0175103L) vs Conrad Galea (ID 0017784M), carrying on trade under the name Chanlai Auto dealer has been deferred to the 29th October, 2025, at 10.30 a.m.

By means of a Reply to the Appeal and the Cross-Appeal by the plaintiff Notary Maria Carmela sive Marica Buttigieg Sciberras filed on the 5th May, 2025, the exponent is of the humble opinion that the appeal filed by the defendant Maria Rosa sive Rosella Sciberras should be dismissed by this Honourable Court but there is room to reform the appealed judgment dated the 17th October, 2024, as requested in the cross-appeal which is being interposed after the defendant’s appeal is addressed. This cross-appeal had to be made in view of the fact that the defendant deemed it fit to appeal the judgment by the Court of First Instance mentioned. In the first place the exponents submit that the defendant’s appeal is irregular and null and without prejudice that all her gounds of appeal are unfounded in fact and at law and thus this Honourable Court should dismiss the defendant’s appeal with costs and uphold the cross-appeal interposed by the exponents.

Therefore, the applicants request that this Honourable Court reforms the appealed judgment delivered by the Honourable First Hall Civil Court on the 17th October, 2024, as corrected in terms of Article 825(2) of Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta by means of a decree dated 13th February, 2025, in the names above premised by cancelling and revoking it as to the decision on the sixth request by plaintiff; cancelling it and revoking it as well as for the purpose of the first plaintiff’s claim regarding the liquidation of the inherited assets of the deceased Rosanna Sciberras; annulling it and revoking it also in so far as it decided for the purpose of the seventh and eighth demands of the plaintiff as regards the liquidation and payment of the reserved portion due to the plaintiff on the inheritance of Rosanna Sciberras; declaring and deciding that with the amount liquidated as the value of the inherited assets of the deceased Rosanna Sciberras of €1,111,721.94 there shall be added the total value that this Honourable Court decides that it confers on the premises ‘St Joseph’, 232, Triq is-Salini, Marsaskala, and of the underlying garage number 234, Triq is-Salini, Marsaskala and thus fix a total amount higher than €1,111, 721.94; for the purpose of the seventh and eighth demands by the plaintiff fix an amount higher than €115,091.35 as the reserved portion due to the plaintiff from the property of her mother after no deduction is made to the amount of €8,433.64 and after taking into account the increased value of the assets of the deceased Rosanna Sciberras, and condemning the defendant to pay the said reserved portion due to the plaintiff as liquidated by this Honourable Court with interest at the rate of 8% with effect from the 19th July, 2011, till effective payment; and upholding the appealed judgment as to the rest, with the costs also of these appeal proceedings being borne by the defendant.
