The two are seeking more than $1.2 million in compensation.

During the last court sitting, the court had directed their lawyer to file proper affidavits stating whether Freesoul’s activities, encroached onto their property and what extent of damage was suffered.

However, the lawyer failed to appear in court.

The Court has decided to deliver its ruling tomorrow as it needs to know whether the third party will pursue their application or will amend their affidavit.
