The court held that by agreement the plaintiffs re-assumed possession and control of the vehicles through recovery of the keys and the compound key, thereby reviving the unpaid seller's lien or, at minimum, creating a limited proprietary/control interest which crystallised and which the bank could not override; accordingly an interim injunction was granted to restrain the bank from interfering and to require delivery of the keys.
