UWAYO v BHANJI ABDOULHAHIM

UWAYO v BHANJI ABDOULHAHIM

The urgent application to remove the attachment lacks merit because the underlying debt remains unresolved, the applicant continues to possess and benefit from the attached property, and the main case is still pending. The court found no sufficient urgency or justification to interfere with the attachment before the substantive dispute is determined.
