LINCOLN SEREJO VENANCIO v. CWT BEHEERMAATSCHAPPIJ BV
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCSD14/1998

Because on the evidence before the court the entity asserting the debt (CIWT/CWT) appeared different from the entity issuing the statutory demand (CWT-B) and there was no evidence from CIWT that it had no claim or that the naming was erroneous, the court exercised its discretion to permit the respondent to file further evidence (including the transfer agreement) within 14 days and adjourned the hearing to allow resolution of the triable issue; the adjournment caused no substantive prejudice to the applicant apart from potential costs.
