TypeCivil SuitPostureAppeal from the original trial outcome
Holding
The plaint does not disclose a reasonable cause of action and is therefore struck out with costs to the defendants
Facts
The plaintiff filed a suit seeking an injunction against distress for rent, and later filed a suit seeking the return of goods seized in distress for rent. The defendants filed an application to strike out the suit for disclosing no cause of action.
Issues
- Whether the plaint disclosed a reasonable cause of action
- Whether the plaintiff had a right to approach the court for an injunction while awaiting the determination of the application for extension of time
Reasoning
The plaintiff's cause of action was grounded on the pendency of the application for extension of time before the Business Premises Rent Tribunal. The court held that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to entertain an application for injunction or interlocutory injunction.
Outcome
The plaint is struck out with costs to the defendants
Orders
- The plaint is struck out
