Holding
The application to strike out the suit is dismissed with costs to the Plaintiff.
Facts
The Plaintiff filed a suit against the Defendant seeking a declaration that the distress for rent was unlawful and an injunction to restrain the Defendant from levying distress and interfering with the Plaintiff's premises and business. The Plaintiff's application for an injunction was granted.
Issues
- Whether the suit should be struck out as scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of the court process.
- Whether the suit has been overtaken by events and is therefore not worth pursuing.
Reasoning
The court found no evidence of the suit being scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of the court process. The court also noted that the Plaintiff's claim was partially allowed in an interlocutory application, which does not equate to the suit being overtaken by events.
