Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant company borrowed US$50,000 from the first respondent company in May 2017, secured by title deeds to a property. After the introduction of RTGS dollars in February 2019, the applicant repaid the loan believing it had discharged its obligations at a 1:1 conversion rate. The respondents refused to return the title deeds, claiming the loan remained denominated in US dollars and was not fully repaid.
