The High Court on Saturday threw out a third bid by Zimbabwe People First founding member Didymus Mutasa to save his attached property from being auctioned to recover $26 000 in legal fees owed to Nyakutombwa and Mugabe.
This time Mutasa appeared as second applicant with his wife Getrude as the first applicant. However, Justice Priscilla Chigumba threw out the urgent chamber application for lack of urgency. Mutasa last month obtained an order for the release of his attached property, but Nyakutombwa Mugabe Legal Counsel appealed the decision, leaving him at risk of losing his property.
On Saturday, Mutasa and his wife argued their case in the third attempt to get their property back. Instead, the judge said Mr and Mrs Mutasa had alternative remedies to pursue in terms of the rules of the court.Household goods property under attachment include: Three sets of leather sofas, dining table and eight chairs, two fridges, a coffee table and stools, two water tanks, microwave, carpets, television stands, Kipor generator, DSTV decoder, DVD player and two flower pots.
