Nor were they made aware of the proceedings or the related Order made by Justice Ganpatsingh on April 23, 1991.In their Statement of Claim, the plaintiffs further stated that after Justice Ganpatsingh made the Order purporting to correct the plaintiffs transport No. 1932 of 1973 which consequentially dispossessed the plaintiffs of 6.3 acres of land, the then Commissioner of Lands and Surveys issued a Provisional Lease effective from January 1, 1992 to the added defendant,Nike NFL Jerseys China, Toolsie Persaud Limited, for Sub-Block B, part of Block U, and that Sub-Block B covered that 6.3 acres of land which was removed from the plaintiffs’ transport No. 1932 of 1973.In their Defence, the first-named and second-named defendants (the A.G. and the Commissioner of Lands and Surveys) stated that, according to Plan No. 14273 dated November 13,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, 1970,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Block U was surveyed on November 9, 1970 by Sworn Land Surveyor,Wholesale Jerseys, Edward G.
