PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — In the case of Chandra Ramotar Singh v Bhagwantlall Mossai and Alvin Alves, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on Wednesday held that two land titles obtained by Bhagwantlall Mossai and Alvin Alves should be cancelled because they were obtained by fraud.
The appeal concerned land at Lot 14 Mortice, Mahaicony River in Guyana. Although Singh did not have official title, he was in occupation of the land in 1989 when he agreed to buy the land from some of the heirs of the previous owner.
Unknown to Singh, Alves, Bhagwantlall Mossai and his brother, Ramrattan Mossai, had conspired to defraud him. In 1994, Alves applied to the Land Court for title and fraudulently claimed that he was in possession of the land. The Land Court, being unaware that Singh was the person in possession, granted Alves a declaration of title. Alves then sold the land to Bhagwantlall Mossai.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
