Facts of the Case
Background
The first respondent obtained an ex parte attachment order to found jurisdiction against the applicant, a South African company, on the basis that it was a peregrinus defendant likely to abscond. The applicant, who did not own the attached trucks belonging to its Mozambican entity, sought a stay of execution pending rescission. The court found the applicant had no cause of action as it admitted the property was not its own and failed to show authorization from the true owner.
