Halberstam and Another v Gladstar Ltd: QBD 29 Jan 2015

Claim for injunctions in respect of various valuable items kept at the home of the second claimant and her husband. The goods were seized and taken away by court enforcement officers acting pursuant to a Writ of Delivery.
The claimants assert that they are the owners of and entitled to possession of the goods at issue. They now seek interim mandatory orders that the items be delivered up to them. In the meantime, or in the alternative, they seek orders that the items should not be sold or disposed of pending trial. The defendant’s position is that no relief should be granted because the claimants cannot show any tenable claim to the goods, or even if they can, a claim for damages would represent an adequate remedy.
