    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCMP2366/2013

    The court refused to make the garnishee orders absolute and refused to discharge them, but ordered a stay of execution of the Labour Tribunal awards (including garnishee orders) pending final determination of HCA1372/2013 because there was a real and material risk that payments made now could not be recovered later if the High Court dispute ultimately favours the judgment debtor; alleged IRD investigations without a written s76 notice did not justify refusal to make orders absolute; late affidavit was admitted retrospectively for fairness.
