Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff sought provisional sentence against the defendant based on an acknowledgment of debt for USD$28,000. The defendant opposed the application, claiming he signed the acknowledgment under duress from police threats during a fraud investigation. The parties had previously been in an intimate relationship from November 2011 to January 2012, and the defendant claimed the plaintiff sought revenge for a broken promise to marry.
