Eviction dismissed for failure to prove ownership, imminent danger, and non-compliance with PIE information requirements.
Eviction – PIE Act s 4(6) & (7) – applicant must give particulars of occupiers and availability of alternative accommodation. Ownership proof – title deed and annexures must correlate to property sought to be recovered. Risk assessment – allegation of danger from pipeline requires credible, immediate risk evidence; delay undermines urgency. Just and equitable – permanence of occupation (brick structures) and procedural non-compliance may preclude eviction.

Summary judgment refused because a genuine dispute exists whether the lease was concluded personally or by a company.
Lease – summary judgment – dispute of capacity of signatory (personal vs company) – conflict between proposal signed for company and lease signed "trading as" – genuine triable issue requiring evidence; technical pleading defects not a bona fide defence.
