</div>Parties have reached a post-judgment
agreement for Defendant/Judgment/Debtor to pay the judgment debt by
instalments.&nbsp; The Courts attention has
been drawn to the fact that the Defendant/Judgment/Debtor has issued the first
cheque.&nbsp; Subject to it being honoured, I
find that the Defendant/Judgment/Debtor has exhibited good faith.&nbsp; Although, instalment payments is not a
sufficient ground to stay the execution of a judgment, I find it necessary in
the present circumstances to stay the execution of the judgment so as the
parties agreement for the debt to be paid as stated in Exhibit GBC1’ attached
to the affidavit in support could be effected.&nbsp;
I must note that in the event the Defendant/Judgment/Debtor defaults in
its assurances on Exhibit GBC1’, the usual default clause shall apply and the
balance outstanding shall become due.&nbsp;
Subject to these reasons, I hereby stay the execution of the judgment
dated 24th February, 2016.&nbsp;
The Defendant/Judgment/Debtor/Applicant is to settle the auctioneer
accordingly.&nbsp; Let the properties under
attachment be released accordingly.&nbsp; The
motion filed on the 7th June, 2018 for interlocutory injunction is
hereby struck out as having been withdrawn.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>
