\par 
\par The Plaintiff disputes the quantum of rates and interest due on the Property. Assuming the Defendant had the power to sell the property the 
Plaintiffs further seeks a full account on the sale of the said property, and for the balance remaining after deduction of the rates.
\par 
\par The Defendants in their statement of defence denied the allegations but subsequently by its Amended statement of defence disclosed the tender amount to be $261,000.00 and that the sale was conducted by their former Solicitors I
