Holding
The Respondent cannot be blamed for the actions of the guarantors, and the Claimant's claim fails as it has not been proved on a balance of probabilities.
Facts
The claimant obtained a loan from the respondent, but defaulted on the repayment. The Igoji Fellowship group, which guaranteed the loan, proclaimed, attached, and auctioned the claimant's goods to recover the defaulted amount.
Issues
- On Default, did the Respondent proclaim and sell the goods of the claimant?
- What remedies are available to the claimant?
Reasoning
The court found that the Respondent was not responsible for the proclamation, attachment, and sale of the claimant's goods, and that the claimant was the author of his own misfortune.
Outcome
The Claimant's claim is hereby dismissed with costs.
Orders
- The Claimant's claim is hereby dismissed with costs.
