Accordingly, it is pertinent to note that the respondent Denarau Company in its affidavits has stated that the company was genuinely mak\hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0 
ing an effort to pay its debts. In those affidavits it is also stated that the company was prevented from making payment to the creditors as a result of an interim injunction issued in Civil Action No 184/2009. The issuance of that injunction has not been
\hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0 challenged. At the hearing the counsel for the petitioner admitted that the injunction had prevented the Receiver and Manager making payment but he has further submitt\hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0 
ed that it was subsequently\hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0  varied. However, the petitioner has not tendered the order sa\hich\af0\dbch\af175\loch\f0 id to be varied.

The injunction had been obtained by one of the Villa Owners who is also a supporting creditor of this action. This fact has not been challenged by the petitioner company.
