Ex parte Liquidity Technologies Ltd (MA 195 of 2022) [2022] SCSC 827 (22 September 2022)

The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to establish proper authority to institute proceedings, did not provide the contract or arbitration agreement relied upon, and thus failed to make out a prima facie case for an interlocutory injunction. The court also could not determine its jurisdiction or the applicant's entitlement to relief in the absence of necessary documents.
