Facts of the Case
Background
Fairclot Investments obtained a USD$4.8 million arbitral award against Augur Investments in March 2015. After registration as a court order in June 2019, a writ of execution was issued attaching immovable property. Augur Investments paid RTGS$4.8 million claiming the debt was discharged at 1:1 rate, leading the Sheriff to uplift the attachment. Fairclot Investments disputed this and sought review of the Sheriff's decision.
