By Business Reporter-WestProp Holdings Ltd has won a long-standing financial property legal challenge where the High Court had initially ordered the attachment of land to counterbalance the debt with Fairclot Investments over funding a dual carriageway in Harare leading to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.

The victory was awarded to West Property Holdings by the Supreme Court Friday after Augur appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court decision to settle its debt with Fairclot in United States dollars instead of the local currency.

Supreme Court judges Justices Chinembiri Bhunu, George Chiweshe, and Hlekani Mwayera squashed the appeal. The trio unanimously agreed that the debt was executable in local currency in terms of Zimbabwe’s financial laws.

In a statement after the landmark ruling, West Property Holdings assured its stakeholders of the security of their properties.
