Facts
The respondent was allocated a piece of land by the Urban Planning Committee on 18th November, 1980 on condition that he pays the necessary fees within thirty days from date of offer. He was delayed in paying the fees by the land officer who told him to wait until certain matters concerning resurvey of the surrounding areas were completed. Two months after the respondent was allocated the plot, the appellant was also allocated the same plot. The trial judge found that the respondent obtained the plot through approved channels and the late payment of fees by him was duly authorised. The appellant's application, on the other hand, did not follow the proper procedures and was not approved by the Director for Land Development Services.
Held: The plot was properly allocated to the respondent, and not to the appellant.
