DCDT1769/2009

Ownership of the seized amusement machines, standing alone and unsupported by other attendant circumstances, does not defeat the Plaintiff's right to distrain; therefore items nos.1-16 were lawfully distrained and must be awarded to the Plaintiff while item no.17 is awarded to the Claimant; costs follow the event with specified orders.

BRAND FARRAR BUXBAUM LLP v. SAMUEL-ROZENBAUM DIAMOND LTD. AND OTHERS

Citation

BRAND FARRAR BUXBAUM LLP v. SAMUEL-ROZENBAUM DIAMOND LTD. AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA5191/1998
