However, the Messenger of Court had already attached some property on Thursday.
The interdict followed an urgent chamber application by Kingstons’ lawyers, Mutamangira and Associates, at the High Court.
The application was filed on Thursday afternoon and sought to stop Kingstons employee Mr Caleb Sithole from executing an order he obtained from the same court to recover US$17,9 million in acting allowances from his employer.
The allowances, according to human resources manager Mr Sithole, accrued while he was acting eastern regional sales (operations) manager.
Assistant Deputy Sheriff Mr Maxwell Chakawarika, acting on the notice of seizure and attachment, had already attached some property from Kingstons head office.
The property includes:
* two desks
* six chairs
* two fans
* two computers
* a printer
* a wooden and steel display cabinets
* a DSTV decoder
* A Sanyo TV set
* three cupboards
* three glass coffee table sets
* five reclining sofas
* one executive desk
* three glass tables
* three leather sofas, and
* four leather chairs
The urgent chamber application will be heard on Monday before Justice Ben Hlatshwayo.
Kingstons group chief executive Mr Brian Sedze submitted an affidavit saying the amount claimed by Mr Sithole was grossly high.
“This amount is grossly and excessively high in-fact even the applicant’s (Kingstons) capital value does not come anywhere near this figure,” Mr Sedze submitted.
He averred that even in the history of labour related damages in this jurisdiction if not the world there has never been an employee who obtained an award of US$17 936 639.
