brumet v o f vs 1 victoria fisheries ltd another 2000 tzhccomd 8 3 october 2000

The plaintiff failed to prove any threat or intention by the defendants to remove or dispose of property with intent to defraud creditors, and the property in question is not subject to proprietary dispute but only to a claim for purchase price. The request for production of all books and stores is overly broad, irrelevant to the dispute, and would lead to absurdity. Both prayers are dismissed.
