Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, a married couple claiming Zimbabwean citizenship by birth, sought urgent interim relief after Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) denied them immigrant's rebate on a Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle imported from Malawi, demanded payment of US$27,593.28 duty, and seized related documents. The first applicant had imported the vehicle under a Temporary Import Permit and claimed entitlement to immigrant's rebate as a returning resident.
