2. Sworn statement Pacco Siri 25 May 2022
3. Sworn statement filed Pacco Siri 16 September 2022
4. Sworn Statement filed Jude T. Paul 20 October 2022.
4. This is our application but I have not complied with 1); 2) or 4) of the Court's Minute of 9 September 2022. I would like further time to provide the material necessary to do that.
5. Mrs Nari says she object to adjournment. This is not legal training. They are not serious. This is the second chance and it is wrong and even then they have not complied - 9 September to 24 October. Has already been to the Master for enforcement. This should now stop and should be determined today.No evidence about what the darnages are for but all of the other relief sought has been already granted because the vehicle was taken back by an earlier order and as far as we know the claimants have already sold it. We do not know what other damages are sought. We have not received the damages of 700,000 VT which were also ordered which we had claimed in our counter claim.
11. Mrs Harrison says: that we sold the vehicle. It was not sold by my clients but by his uncle and they were not a party to ii. Vehicle no longer with claimant as sold out by uncle. Uncle did not give them the proceeds of sale. That is all.
14. Application to adjourn is refused.
15. Both application dismissed.
16. Costs at VT 10,000 as requested by Mrs Nari.
Dated at Port Vila this 24th day of October 2022
