Holding

The Respondent or any of the named contemnors were never served with the order of this Court dated 20.11.2017 and therefore an order of contempt cannot lie against them.

Facts

The Applicant filed an application for contempt against the Respondent and its directors for failing to comply with a court order dated 20 November 2017. The Respondent opposed the application, claiming they were not served with the order.

Issues

  1. Whether the Respondent contemnors were ever served with the Court order dated 20.11.2017.
  2. Whether the Respondent contemnors did any act or omission in contravention of the Court order dated 20.11.2017.

Reasoning

The court found that the Respondent was not served with the order and thus could not be held in contempt.

Outcome

Application dismissed
