THE plaintiff Terrence Adams who is the owner of transported property since 2013, when the defendant, Claude Dyer, was a relative and licensee of the previous owner.
Following the purchase of the property, situated at Lot 188 Lance Gibbs Drive, Queenstown, Georgetown, the plaintiff, the new owner, began facing a problem in seeking to get vacant possession from the defendant, who occupied the top flat of the building.
After utilising persuasive efforts to get vacancy, and failing to get it, the plaintiff had to resort to the Court for redress.
It was expressly agreed between the vendors and the purchasers that the defendant would remove from the premises when transport was passed.
The defendant, on several occasions, allegedly indicated to the plaintiff that he would be removing from the premises, but has failed and/or refused to do so.
The plaintiff has also offered to provide alternative accommodation for the defendant, but this offer has allegedly been refused.
By way of letter dated August 5, 2014, the defendant was called on to deliver immediate possession of the premises to the plaintiff, but has failed and/or refused to surrender possession of the premises.
The defendant remained on the property at Lot 188 Lance Gibbs Drive as a trespasser on the premises.
Consequently, the plaintiff is seeking to have the defendant directed to deliver immediate possession of the premises to the plaintiff.
The claim against the defendant was issued by Attorney-at-Law Mr. Raphael Trotman. The matter is fixed for hearing on September 8, 2014.
