Background

The Sheriff of Zimbabwe attached seven vehicles belonging to Askeland Media & Advertising (Pvt) Ltd, a 50% shareholder in Saiss Incorporation (Pvt) Ltd, following a judgment obtained by Zimbabwe National Water Authority against Saiss Incorporation. Askeland Media challenged the attachment, arguing it was a separate legal entity not liable for the judgment debtor's debts.
