Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant purchased a property at a Sheriff's sale in execution in January 2017 from the first respondent. After the first respondent failed to vacate, an eviction order was granted. The first respondent subsequently filed numerous applications to reverse the sale, including obtaining default judgments through chicanery. The applicant sought an order to restrict the first respondent's future litigation on the matter.
