Reading: My father initiated a legal case in 2005 against a tenant to reclaim our family home for personal use. The tenant vacated one room, but the rest remained occupied. We won the initial case in the civil court, but the tenant appealed and won the second case after my parents passed away. I filed an appeal in the High Court in 2014, but the tenant continues to occupy the house despite not living there since 2013. We’ve been seeking relief for over a decade with no success. What can I do?

Based on the information provided, you can pursue the following: 1) File a contempt of court petition in the High Court, citing the tenant’s continued occupation despite the court order. 2) Seek an urgent hearing to expedite the case and obtain an order for the tenant’s immediate eviction.
