Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought an order compelling the first respondent to consent to the cancellation of a mortgage bond registered in 2004, asserting that the loan had been repaid. The respondent denied repayment and demanded payment in US dollars, while the applicant offered to pay in RTGS dollars under SI 33 of 2019. The court found that the debt, originally in ZWL, must be discharged in RTGS dollars at a one-to-one rate with the US dollar as per the Finance Act.
