Holding

The Objector's application is dismissed with costs to the Claimant

Facts

Warrants of Attachment and Sale were issued on 1st August 2016, and office furniture was attached on 2nd August 2016. The Objector claims the goods belong to them, not the Respondent.

Issues

  2. Procedural steps under Order 22 Rules 51, 52 and 54 of the Civil Procedure Rules

Reasoning
