Holding

The application is allowed, and interim orders are made as prayed for.

Facts

The Plaintiff purchased the suit premises from Orbitsports Limited and paid the 2005 rates. The Defendant issued a notice demanding payment of 2006 rates, which the Plaintiff paid. The Defendant then advertised the property for sale, leading to the Plaintiff's application.

Issues

  1. Interim orders to restrain Defendant from auctioning or selling the suit premises
