Tateraka v Tateraka [1996] KIHC 145; Land Appeal 140 of 1990 (8 October 1996)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KIRIBATI
(BEFORE B. SUTTILL C.)

HCLA 140/1990

BETWEEN:

NEI ROITI TATERAKA
Appellant

AND:

TAAM TATERAKA
TIOTI TATERAKA
KORINA TATERAKA
Respondent

JUDGMENT

It is not possible to identify a cause of action in the proceedings of the lower court.

The case is described as an application seeking other remaining properties.

The appellant admitted to the court below that she did not know the identity or location of these remaining properties.

Not surprisingly the magistrates were unable to help the appellant but referred her to the High Court. This court, being without first instance jurisdiction in land causes and matters, cannot assist her either.

The appeal is dismissed.
