Judgment No. SC 41 /18 Civil Appeal No. SC 326/14 their assets. The consent order granted by the court did not take into account the parties rights in the leased farm. The court a quo which was seized with the issue of the distribution of the parties’ rights in the farm should have taken them into consideration and distributed them. The appeal has merit and must be allowed. The case should be remitted to the court a quo for it to consider the value of the parties’ interests in the leased farm to enable it to distribute such interests between them. It is therefore ordered as follows: 1. The appeal is allowed with costs. 2. The decision of the court a quo is set aside. 3. The matter is remitted to the court a quo for it to determine the value of the spouses’ rights in the farm and equitably distribute such value between them.
