A Federal High Court in Lagos Monday declined to hear an application seeking to revoke a Mareva Injunction barring Shoprite Checkers Ltd from transferring its assets.
Vacation judge Justice Nicholas Oweibo ruled that the matter was not urgent enough to be heard during the court’s ongoing vacation. The South African retail company is seeking to overturn the July 14, 2020 order made by Justice Mohammed Liman of the same court in favour of a Nigerian firm, A.I.C. Limited.
A.I.C had in 2018 secured a $10m judgment from an Ikeja High Court in Lagos against Shoprite for alleged breach of contract.
It further mandated the 2nd respondent, Retail Supermarket Nigeria Ltd, “to disclose its audited financial statements for the years ending 2018 and 2019 to enable the judgment creditor/applicant determine the judgment debtor’s/respondent’s funds in its custody in order to preserve same in satisfaction of the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No: CA/L/288/2018.”
