The Court of Appeal held that the garnishees had a valid possessory lien and that ordering payment of the monies into court had inadvertently prejudiced and effectively deprived them of that lien; the appeal was allowed and the orders were made to preserve the garnishees' lien while granting the appellants their costs and leaving other parties' costs reserved.
