Facts of the Case

Background

Applicants sought to set aside Sheriff's decision confirming sale of their property in execution. The Sheriff conducted a hearing on 18 December 2019 without proper notification to applicants, who were husband and wife co-directors of applicant companies. The property was sold for ZWL 350,000 despite applicants' objections that debt was paid and price was unreasonably low.
