1.I have before me an originating summons dated 26 January 2023. The Plaintiff seeks an order which enables enforcement of a charging order absolute made on 24 November 2022 in HCA 875/2022 in respect of a judgment in those proceedings.

2.In short, the charging order absolute is over shares in the 2nd Defendant. Despite a request to do so the 1st Defendant director of the 2nd Defendant has not executed the necessary instruments of transfer and bought and sold notes.

3.The Defendants did not appear before me today. I will make an order that the 1st Defendant execute the necessary documents and the 2nd Defendant register the transfer subsequent to their execution.

4.I will also make an order which permits a solicitor from the Plaintiff’s solicitor’s firm to execute the necessary documents if the 1st Defendant fails to do so within 10 clear calendar days of a written request being sent to him. The costs of these proceedings are to be paid by the 1st Defendant to the Plaintiff to be taxed if not agreed. I will also grant general liberty to apply.
