Correspondent|TOP car dealership, Motor City Toyota, has been dragged to the High Court by the Parliament of Zimbabwe after it failed to deliver cars paid for two years ago.

Parliament says it bought and fully paid three Toyota Hilux double-cab vehicles two years ago from Motor City Toyota, but the delivery is still to be made.

Motor City Toyota is yet to respond to the litigation.

Court documents show that in December 2016, Parliament entered into an agreement of sale with Motor City Toyota for three Toyota Hilux double-cab vehicles valued at $104 849.

“The following were, inter alia the express terms of the said contract, namely;- that the defendant (MTC Investments) would sell the three Toyota Hilux motor vehicles mentioned above; that the plaintiff (Parliament) would pay the purchase price in the sum of $104 849 and that delivery of the motor vehicles would be done within six months from the date of payment of the purchase price.”

Parliament said it paid the purchase price to the vehicle firm on April 1, 2017, but MTC Investments has, up to date, not delivered the vehicles.

“By reason of the said breach, the defendant is liable to deliver the said motor vehicles to the plaintiff. Despite demand, the defendant has failed, neglected and/or refused to deliver the said motor vehicles to plaintiff,” Parliament said.

“Wherefore the plaintiff herein claims: delivery of the three Toyota Hilux motor vehicles (double cab) and if the defendant fails to deliver the said vehicles within 48 hours from date of judgment the sheriff of Zimbabwe shall be authorised and directed to recover the said motor vehicles from defendant and deliver same to the plaintiff and cost of suit.
