In Brief
In this civil appeal, the appellant and respondent settled their dispute out of court, and the disputed property was transferred to a third party, Mr. Maurice Rosario Menezes. The Supreme Court held that once the parties have reached a settlement and the subject matter is disposed of, nothing survives for adjudication in the appeal. Accordingly, the court disposed of the civil appeal, with no order as to costs. Pending interlocutory applications were also disposed of.
