Background

The applicant, a foreign company and major creditor of Aquarium Trading (Pvt) Ltd (under judicial management), sought an urgent interdict preventing the judicial manager from conducting a second forensic audit without creditor consultation. The application was opposed on multiple procedural grounds including security for costs, lack of local registration, failure to seek court leave, lis pendens, and urgency.
