N.Z.L.R. 171. No doubt Dr. Khan}{ \fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 '}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12388720 s submissions are tenable provided it is shown that the plaintiff holds the shop for his sole beneficial interest. \par \par As will have been observed each party relies upon the facts he himself swears to and them applies the law to these facts. It would seem then that there could be some doubt as to what are the facts. \par \par Under S.169 the persons entitled to institute proceedings for p}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6044140 ossession are in three groups (a}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12388720 ), (b) & (c). Group (a) is the last registered proprietor of the land. It would seem that in this action there is not one current registered proprietor on the certificate of title but several. If the action is to be maintained on the basis that it is brought by the last registered proprietor then they would all have join as plaintif fs. The certificate of title shows that}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid395657 they hold in undivided shares.}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9522312 \par \par Therefore, there is nothing in the certificate which could lead one to conclude that the plaintiff, and only the plaintiff, is the last registered proprietor of the shop he seeks posses sion of. Of course there is no reference to the block of property in the title let alone to the shop occupied by the defendant but only to a plot of land which is identified by reference to an endorsed plan. Thus in so far as he is a registered proprietor the plaintiff is the registered proprietor of a }{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid9522312\charrsid139618 1}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9522312 /}{ \fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\sub\langnp2057\insrsid9522312\charrsid139618 12}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9522312 undivided share of a plot of land and }{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 if he wants possession under S.}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9522312 196(a) he must be joined by his co-owners. In my view he cannot succeed simply on the allegation that he is a last registered owner as alleged in his original affidavit dated 5.6.79. \par \par After the defendant had filed his affidavit revealing that the plaintiff was not the sole registered proprietor of the plot of land the plaintiff shifted his ground and filed a further affidavit on 1.8.79. In it he says that the registered co-owners of the plot vested in him the sole beneficial interest in the shop in questio n and that his co-owners now have no right to agree that the defendant may continue in possession thereof as a tenant. He says that the arrangement apportioning the shop to him as a beneficial share out is one of long standing. \par \par It would seem that the plaintiff now seeks to bring himself with the group mentioned in S.169(c) of the L.T.A. which reads that the action for possession can be maintained by}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6756630 }{ \fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9522312 - \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri-23\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin-23\lin0\itap0\pararsid12324141 {\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 \par }\pard \ql \li720\ri-23\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin-23\lin720\itap0\pararsid12324141 {\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 "}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 (c) a lessor against a lessee or tenant where a legal notice to quit has been given or the term of the lease has expired.}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 "}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3096572 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri-23\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin-23\lin0\itap0\pararsid12324141 {\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri-23\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin-23\lin0\itap0\pararsid16597047 {\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 It would be the first of those alternative on which the plaintiff relies because his original affidavit alleges the service of a month}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 '}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 s notice to quit. \par \par In order to establish that he is a lessor entitled to claim possession of the shop the plaintiff would have to show that the sole beneficial interest in that undivided share had been vested in him by his co-owners to manage for his own purposes. A bald al l egation to that effect made in an affidavit can be no substitute for proof that such a state of affairs exists. If there were such an arrangement it is unlikely that the defendant would be aware of it. Summary actions are not intended to dispense with pro o f and the plaintiff should produce proof beyond his own unsupported assertion that the beneficial interest is divided although the legal title is of undivided co-ownership. The defendant would scarcely be in a position to admit the truth of such an allega tion which may well be inaccurate and contrary to the lawful interests of other co-owners who have not been joined as parties to the claim for possession. \par \par The certificate of title shows that the plaintiff}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15030396 '}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 s name did not appear thereon as a co-owner until 9}{ \fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6756630 th}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16597047 November 1978}{\fs24\cf0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6756630 .
