institution and conducting the business of banking in Fiji. In October 2001 the plaintiff and the second defendant had acquired the said property through a loan of $150000.00 with one Home Financing Company Ltd. \par \par In December 2003, the first defendant Bank approved a refinance loan relating to the property and issued a loan offer to the plaintiff and the second defendant. The loan was paid out in May 2004. \par \par The plaintiff claims that there was a personnel arrangement between himself and the 2nd defendant as to the mode of repayment of the loan. \par \par According to the said arrangement the second defendant was to pay one third of the installment and the plaintiff was to pay the balance two third. \par \par Later, the plaintiff came to know that the second defendant had defaulted in payment despite their repayment arrangement. As a result of that the 1st defendant has advertised the property for sale. \par \par The main argument advanced by the plaintiff is that though he has complied with his loan repayment component of the said loan account, because of the 2nd defendant}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{ \f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s default in payment, the 1st defendant bank has proceeded to sell the property even without serving him a demand notice and therefore, the conduct of the bank was in b reach of the Fair Trading Decree and also in breach of the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act. \par \par The plaintiff further stated that it was the 2nd defendant who defaulted in making repayments, the 2nd defendant}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s spouse is an employee of the 1st defendant bank and the bank was also aware of the fraudulent act of the second defendant or corroborated in the fraudulent act against the plaintiff through the loan account. \par It was submitted that the landscaping on the property was also done by the plaintiff and t he mortgaged property has a unique view of the harbour and therefore, if it is sold by the mortgagee the plaintiff would lose a land with that unique view and it would be an irreparable loss to the plaintiff. \par \par Mohid Deen the Assistant Manager of the 1st defendant Bank filed an affidavit, opposing the plaintiff}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s application for injunction. \par \par According to the affidavit of Mohid Deen the bank has noted the proportionate payment of one third and two third of the installment by the second defendant and the plaintiff respectively but there is no such condition contained in the mortgage deed. \par \par However, the bank denied plaintiff}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s allegation in respect of the nonpayment of the installment by the second defendant.

He must regard not only to the strength of the claim but also to the strength of the defence, and then, decide what is best to be done. Sometimes it is best to grant an injunction so as to maintain the status quo until the trial. At other times, it is best not to impose a restrain upon the defe n dant, but leave him free to go ahead. For instance, in Fraser v. Evans (1969) 1 QB 349, although the plaintiff owned the copyright, we did not grant an injunction, because the defendant might have a defence of fair dealing. The remedy by interlocutory inj unction is so useful that it should be kept flexible and discretionary. It must not be made the subject of strict rule.}{\b\i\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 "}{ \b\i\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid1970306 {\b\i\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 \par }{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 In }{\b\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 Hounslow London Borough Council v.

Therefore it is incumbent on the plaintiff to satisfy the court that an irreparable and irremediable damage would be caused if the injunction is not granted. \par \par Although the plaintiff contended that the 2nd defendant has not complied with the repayment agreement and fraudulently acted with the 1st defendant bank, the plaintiff has failed to produce any substantial evidence to show such collusion between the bank and the 2nd defendant. \par \par The mere fact that the second defendant is an employee of the 1st defendant bank does not establish any fraud against the bank. In any event the 1st defendant is trying to recover the debt not only from the plaintiff but also from the 2nd defendant who is an employee of the ban k. In fact the plaintiff himself has admitted that the second defendant is in default of payment. \par \par It is quite evident that there is a dispute between the plaintiff and the 2nd defendant as to the mode of repayment of the loan but from the bank}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{ \f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s point of view both loan accounts are in arrears .There was no condition attached to the mortgage that on what proportion the payments should be made by the plaintiff and the 2nd defendant. Hence in the absence of any such condition in the mortgage deed, the bank i s not required to find whose non-payment it and is legally entitled to proceed with the mortgage sale so long as there is a default of payment. It makes no difference whether the default was by the plaintiff or by the 2nd defendant. \par \par Thus under the mortgage deed the 1st defendant is legally entitled to protect his own interest in obtaining payment of the debt if there was a default in payment. \par \par It is apparent that the whole purpose of the plaintiff}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s application for interlocutory injunction is to restrain the 1st defendant from exercising his rights pursuant to the mortgage until the plaintiff resolves his dispute with the second defendant. \par \par Apart from that the plaintiff failed to advance any sound argument in support of the application for injunction. \par \par It is noteworthy, that in the plaintiff}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306 '}{\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1970306\charrsid1970306 s affidavit it was stated that he had fully complied with his loan repayment component of the loan. \par \par However, in the email dated 05.06.2010 the plaintiff has admitted his default in payment. \par In that email the plaintiff stated that he purposely withheld two repayments in order to trigger the mortgage sale with the intention of concluding the co-ownership of the property.
