Simpubozz:In the case of De Mattos v Gibson Knight Bruce L.J stated the principle " Reason and justice seem to prescribe that, at least as a general rule, when a man by gift or purchase acquires property from another with the knowledge of a previous contract lawfully and for a valuable consideration made by him with a third person to use and employ the property for a particular purpose in a specified manner, the acquirer shall not, to the material damage of the third person, in opposition to the contract and inconsistently with it, use and employ the property in a manner not allowable to the giver or the seller". However, Wood V.C failed to adopt the principle from the dictum of Knight Bruce L.J years later Wood V.C adopted the principle in the case of Messages Imperiales Co. v Baines. The rule got a powerful booster when the Privy Council adopted it in Lord Strathcona Steamship Co. v Dominion Coal, although all this case apply for hire/mortgage/outright sale of ship it has same material fact for a house as ship and house are both property.

Good afternoon house. Pls I really need your advice especially from lawyers on this matter. I just rented a 3 bedroom apartment. After paying for the rent including the outrageous agreement and commission fee and repairing the house with over 500 000 naira. I even paid the outstanding power bill of almost 200, 000, which the caretaker said will be deducted from next year rent. This is where my question comes in. I was just informed that the house is up for sale, of which I was not informed before paying and potential buyers have been coming around. When I asked the caretaker and the landlord himself , they both confirmed the house is up for sale . I was to pack in this month ,but the caretaker pleaded with me that I should give him till end of this month to see how things turn out between them and the potential buyers. Pls what do you expect I do now. How do I get back my house rent, money spent in repairing the aparment , The NEPA bill, agent and commission fee and all . Thanks. |
