The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka is hearing an appeal from the 12th defendant in a partition action, who seeks to correct an arithmetical error in the District Court’s judgment regarding share allocation. The District Judge had previously accepted the defendant’s title but failed to allot 45/240 shares, which the defendant argues is a clerical mistake. The appeal questions whether the High Court erred in affirming the District Court’s refusal to correct this mistake.
