Greetings everyone,

Legal practitioners in the house please i need advice on an issue. My Aunt's husband defaulted on their rent and as a result, a court order was given to evict them and sell off most of her husband's property to offset the rent, but here's the problem, her car was also taken. She had bought the car herself and all the documents are in her name. she was told to come to the court with all the legal documents to reclaim her car, all the legal documents were provided and she was asked to take the car but it wasn't in working order, so she was unable to take it with her that day.
Few days after, she got seriously ill and was unable to collect the car at the time. All these happened last year.

She recently recovered and decided to get her car back but unfortunately it had already been sold by the court. Please i want to know if this is right, and she's also involving a human rights lawyer. what are her chances?

Wow !!.

Wasn't she living with her husband in the house they owed rent?
Its marital property.
All debts and assets are shared
The car is gone, and legally too

.

Women are always after themselves, not the betterment of their family.

Car kee her there!!!


May God give the husband the connection and strength to get back to his fit to be able to provide shelter for his family.

Amen o. I dey tell you

This is so complicated.. if she fell ill, was there no adult/ relative that would have towed the vehicle away from the court premises,.. or is it the fact that it was not in a working condition, nowhere to park it, then you decided to leave it there to buy time.. thinking since we got the document, no shaking..

Though I'm not sure if abandoning a property in a public premises like a court without proper permission for a year is legal...

if your quest is urgent then go online maybe, look for free lawyers that entertained free questions.. They might help.. but I'm afraid u might not find free ones in Nigeria.. only the oyibo ones and their laws might not be applicable to that of our Country.

Nice one by the court. This judgement will deter owing tenants who think they can outsmart landlords who suffered to build their houses. Some wicked tenants won't pay their rents but have money to buy a car and maintain it. Nonsense.

If she has perfected her right to reclaim her car, then the court would not have disposed of it!

If it was disposed, then report to the magistrate who tried the case, which may lead to the Registrar of the Court and a petition to the Chief Judge. Ther are many ways you can go about it

A husband that abandoned her and the kids when he saw that he had accrued more debt than he could pay? Don't be so quick to judge.

She was more concerned about getting back on her feet, hence the delay in recovering the car.
Thanks for your input.

She perfected her right to reclaim the car and
was given permission to collect it.

However, when she went to reclaim it recently, she was told that a suit was filed in her absence claiming that the vehicle documents she tendered in court were forged. So a judgment was passed to dispose of the car. My questions are:
1. Do they have a right to pass such judgement in her absence?
2. What can she do now?

She has all the original vehicle documents.

Get the details of the suit taken out in her absence and get a lawyer to challenge the suit on ground of the lack of Notice of the proceedings and Fraud, to set aside both the judgement and the sale.

You'll need a lawyer for all these, so get one

And you wonder why you have bad leaders and bad people, who do wrongs and get away with them.

If you do not challenge them how are we going to have a "this is Nigeria" where no wrong goes unremedied and wickedness punished where applicable?

Sorry dear, didn't mean to bite your head, I only don't want my people to be weak and let wickedness prevail, which only happens because our people are weak and do not use their Natural God-given powers to stop all Evil.

So what happens to the owner of the house. Your aunt thinking of herself but not of the real victim - the landlord.

If the car is worth it, let her get a lawyer to challenge the action of the magistrate

So, what was now used to off set their rent debt, it's like the car was auction to complete their payment
