The Bank was not entitled to distrain because no landlord-tenant relationship had arisen: assignment and possession plus demands for payment did not amount to an offer and unequivocal acceptance by the lessees; consequently the warrants were improperly issued. Further, s.93(1) Cap.7 does not deprive the District Court of jurisdiction to hear pre-seizure applications to discharge or suspend warrants.
