High Court grants an interlocutory injunction restraining the defendant receivers from taking any steps to sell land involved in a property dispute, on the grounds, inter alia, that if the plaintiff was to succeed at trial, a permanent injunction would likely be granted; damages are not an adequate remedy; and the balance of justice favours the granting of the injunction.
