1. On 10th November 2023, I ruled as follows, at paragraph 6 of the typed ruling:“Consequently, I hereby enter judgment as prayed, but the amount to be paid ultimately shall take into account any payments already made by the respondent, in respect of which accounts shall be taken before the Deputy Registrar/taxing officer, before execution proceedings are taken out.”

2. The applicant filed a statement of the moneys paid by the respondent, dated 16th July 2024.
