Holding

The Plaintiff substantially succeeds in its application and shall also have the costs of this application.

Facts

The Plaintiff applied for a temporary injunction to restrain the Defendant from selling a property and for an account of loan and overdraft facility. The Defendant filed a replying affidavit and grounds of opposition.

Issues

  2. Rate of interest charged by the Defendant

Reasoning
