Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff, Docking Station Safaris (Private) Limited, supplied cattle to Foldaway Investments (Pvt) Ltd on credit. The defendant, Y Unus Ahmed, was a director of Foldaway and personally engaged in the transactions. After Foldaway incurred significant debt, a notarial general covering bond was registered over its assets as security. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant fraudulently misrepresented that Foldaway and Zim Halaal Meats were the same entity, mortgaged assets belonging to another entity, and later dissipated secured assets to avoid payment.
