</div>&nbsp;&nbsp;i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Background:<o:p></o:p>[1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
facts of this case are free from complexity. On January 24, 2000 the High Court
delivered judgment in this matter against the Defendants, jointly and severally
pursuant to Terms of Settlement executed by the parties. According to the
Plaintiffs the judgment was for the total sum of <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£126, 262.34 and broken down, as follows:<o:p></o:p>“(a) <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£102, 021.96 with interest at 6% per annum with effect
from 4th April, 1997;<o:p></o:p>(b) <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£13, 222.52 with interest at 6% per annum with effect
from 21st January, 1998; and<o:p></o:p>(c) <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£10,000.00, being legal costs awarded on date of
judgment”. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It
is the case of the Plaintiffs that the Defendants defaulted in the payment of
the debt and the parties on 14th November, 2002, entered into a post
–judgment terms of settlement in which the Defendants, among other things,
undertook to settle the outstanding debt of <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£126,262.34 in four instalments ending on 30th
October, 2005. According to the Plaintiffs, between January and July 2003, the
1st Defendant made a total part-payment of <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">£14, 607.39 to the Plaintiffs’ lawyer, the payment of
which was far below his undertaking under the Terms of Settlement. The
Plaintiffs further contend that they applied to the Court for leave to proceed
into execution against the 1st Defendant and same was granted on March 26,
2004. <o:p></o:p>
