    Citation
    RE CARRIAN HOLDINGS LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW244/1983

    The court refused the applicant's claim to distrain for rent accrued from the date of presentation of the winding-up petition on the basis that the provisional liquidators' limited, preservation-focused occupation did not justify distraint; however the court granted possession to the landlord (with leave to amend to claim possession) and stayed execution for 21 days to permit removal of assets. The landlord's application for rent from the date of the hearing was refused.
