Holding

The court grants a 30-day extension for the plaintiff to deposit the sum claimed, with automatic lapse of the injunction if the sum is not deposited by August 31, 2015.

Facts

The plaintiff applied for an extension of time to deposit the sum claimed in the case, which was ordered to be deposited within 45 days in a joint account with the defendant's advocate and the Deputy Registrar.

Issues
