Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sold 709 tonnes of maize to the first respondent on 14-day credit terms containing an arbitration clause. First respondent failed to pay the balance of US$179,608-35. Applicant feared first respondent was disposing of remaining 32 tonnes of maize and would have no assets to satisfy any arbitration award, so sought an anti-dissipation interdict.
