Facts of the Case
Background
The Deputy Sheriff attached equipment pursuant to execution of a judgment in Barnsley v Harambe Holdings. Trinpac Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Harambe Holdings, claims the attached property belongs to it, not the judgment debtor. The judgment creditor disputes this, arguing the group operates as a single entity.
