; that upon the report being in the affirmative, the said Caterpillar be released to the plaintiff forthwith; and the Police assist the plaintiff to take possession of the said caterpillar.
\par 
\par On 11 August 2004 the Court made an order restraining the defendant from proceeding any further with tender advertised on 31 July 2004 until further Order of this Court.
\par 
\par On 27 September 2004 when the case was called before me the parties were trying to settle the matter.}{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid806473  }{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14506781\charrsid1770700

By 6 December there was no settlement and counsel agreed to file written submissions, the plaintiff filed its submission on 21 December 2004 but defendant filed its on 15 March 2005 after a reminder from Court.

\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14506781\charrsid1770700 Due consideration has been given to them.
\par 
\par Before I deal with the application I would like to mention that the state of pleadings in this action is that a Statement of Defence has been filed.
\par 
\par Because there was no affidavit in response and submissions filed by the defendant despite Court Orders to do so, the learned counsel for the plaintiff filed his submission stating to the effect that the plaintiff\rquote 
s affidavit has remained totally unchallenged.}{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid806473  }{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14506781\charrsid1770700 
Therefore it says that an order be made with costs that the said caterpillar be returned to the plaintiff forthwith.
\par 
\par Upon reading the pleadings in this action and the affidavits filed in the present application as well as the written submissions I am of the view that the issue cannot be decided without the trial of the action in Open Court with oral evidence.}{
