Suit n° HCB/05S/2012, Ntarikon Cooperative Union Ltd c/ Pamela SIRRI LONGTCHA and FON Festus. High Court of Mezam Décision du 19/11/2012

Voies D'exécution - Vente Forcée - Déclarations Et Observations - Audience éventuelle

Measures Of Exécution - Attachment Of Property - Specifications - Déclarations And Observations - Eventual Hearing - Mortgage Deed - Guarantor - Contract Of Guarantee - Failure To Serve Summons - Executory Formula - Surety-bond - Acknowledgement Of Loan - Power Of Attorney - Mortgage Of Matrimonial Home - Rights Of Co-owners - Order Of Sale

The counsel for the judgment debtor contested the attachment for sale of the property of Mr Fon Festus Suh, who according to him was not a party to the mortgage deed nor was he a guarantor or borrower. Since the property in question was the matrimonial home, the court had to determine the rights of the wife over the matrimonial home. As per section 17 of the Married Women's Property Act 1882 applicable in Cameroon, the woman is a co-owner of the home. According to section 121 of the 1997 Uniform Act Organising Securities, mortgages granted by all the co-owners of joint property shall remain effective regardless of the outcome of any subsequent sale by auction or sharing of the property. If the mortgage is to be granted by one co-owner, he needs the consent of other co-owners. Mr Fon Festus Suh consented to the mortgage made over the matrimonial home by his wife and could no longer dispute the sale of the property.
