The amount paid on account of the same was to be recovered from the purchase price of the additional area that the Government intends to purchase from the owners. It will be noted that had the Government not intervened and paid the rates, the entire parcel of land could have been auctioned by the City Council to recover rent and rates arrears which the registered owners were unable to meet. (b) The property is registered in the names of Afrison Export Import Limited and Huelands Limited as proprietors in common in equal shares. (c) The High Court Civil Suit No.977 of 2005 was filed by the registered owners against the Government for the determination of the plaintiffs’ interest or rights, the legality of taking or possession of the property, interest or rights and the amount of compensation the plaintiffs are entitled to in respect of LR No.7879/4 between Afrison Export Import Limited, Huelands and Drive-in Estate Developers on one hand and the Attorney-General and the Commissioner of Lands on the other.
