VINTAGES WINES AND LIQUORS Ltd v. KARASIRA

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RCOMAA 00044/2023/CA

The Court of Appeal held that Nzamukosha Sylvie had a direct and personal interest to intervene but her claims were new and inadmissible at the appellate stage. The court found that the statutory suspension of creditor enforcement under insolvency law only applies if a liquidation order is made within six months; otherwise, creditors regain enforcement rights. Since no liquidation order was made within the statutory period, the auction was lawful. The appeal by Vintages Wines and Liquors Ltd lacked merit and was dismissed. Legal costs were awarded to the respondents.
