Suppo v Jhundoo: PC 15 Oct 2018

(Mauritius) Issues about the admissibility and validity of a document described as a ‘ contre lettre ‘ for the purpose of affecting (to use a neutral word) the terms of a notarised registered deed of purchase of real property. An unusual feature about the facts of this case, which led to the disagreement between the first instance judge and the Court of Appeal about the outcome, is that the deed and the supposed contre lettre are separated in time by 14 years.
