    DCCJ13438/2000

    The judgment creditor failed to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the judgment debtor disposed of his own assets with a view to avoiding satisfaction of the judgment or wilfully failed to make full disclosure; the debtor's explanations were credible and the evidence did not meet the strict construction and criminal standard required for committal under Order 49B, therefore the application for imprisonment must be refused.
