The High Court has ordered the committal to prison of the occupant of a property, following her refusal to comply with a previous High Court order to vacate after the property had been lawfully repossessed by a financial institution. The occupant had unlawfully re-entered and remained in the property after a lawful transfer of the mortgage and subsequent possession order. Despite various arguments presented by the occupant, the court found them to be without merit and confirmed the lawfulness of the possession orders and the financial institution's standing. The decision affirms the principle of finality in litigation and the importance of adhering to court orders.
