Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought a declaratory order that the attachment and sale of its gold processing plant and other assets by the Sheriff was null and void due to defective descriptions in the notice of attachment. The second respondent opposed the application but filed its heads of argument late and was barred. The court refused condonation and dismissed the application.
