Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Judge of the Civil Law Court, Yamie Gbeisay, has slapped a US$75,000 on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for damages and wrongful withholding from Joseph V. Gaye.<\/p>\n

In a case involving the interstate estate, Gaye filed an action of ejectment against defendant on the reliance of ownership of (2.5) acres of land situated in Oldest Congo Town.<\/p>\n

Report by Victoria G. Wesseh, Contributing Writer<\/b><\/p>\n

On Monday, the court ruled that the unanimous verdict of the trial jury should be confirmed and affirmed.<\/p>\n

Court added that defendant is hereby adjudged liable, and the award of US$ 750,000 damages for wrongful withholding of the Joseph V Gaye property is hereby confirmed upheld.<\/p>\n

Court also further that under the doctrine of a superior title, when two grantees have the same grantor, the first buyer prevails.<\/p>\n

The court added that since Gaye, the plaintiff, established without challenge that he acquired the property in 1962, the court holds that the plaintiff has a superior deed.<\/p>\n

The court also ordered the clerk to issue a Writ of Possession and have the same placed in the hand of the sheriff to dispose of the defendant and posse Joseph V Gaye, the plaintiff.<\/p>\n
