Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants obtained a loan facility of ZWD6.2 million in foreign currency from the first respondent in 1997 to lease an aircraft. After the project collapsed, the applicants defaulted on repayment. The first respondent obtained judgment in foreign currency (US$590,470.68) and proceeded to execute against the applicants' property. The applicants applied to set aside the writ of execution, claiming they had fully paid the debt in Zimbabwe dollars at the official exchange rate.
