Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought an interdict to prevent respondents from interfering with his collection of assets from the 3rd respondent's premises. The provisional order was granted on 1 March 2017. The respondents appealed to the Supreme Court, which set aside the judgment and struck the application off the roll. The applicant subsequently filed an answering affidavit in 2021, and the matter was set down for hearing in 2023. The court found the opposing affidavit invalid due to improper commissioning and lack of authority, leading to the confirmation of the provisional order.
