Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a licensed car sale business, sought an urgent interdict against the first respondent and its sub-tenants who were operating an unlicensed food vending business on adjacent premises, causing congestion, health hazards, and obstructing access to the applicant's business. The City of Harare, as the second respondent, was called upon to enforce its by-laws.
