It also ordered that Katsimberis should pay the plaintiff the money being taxed costs and charges virtue of a judgment obtained against him in the High Court on November 30, 2020.
The Registrar made it clear that if he fails to pay he must appear before the High Court this October to explain why he had not paid it.
“If you fail to pay the sum specified above, you must appear before the High Court at Harare this October 2022 to explain why you have not paid it and show cause on why a civil imprisonment should not be made on your account of your failure to pay.
The High Court Registrar also stated that Katsimberis should bring evidence of his financial position.

“You should bring wage slips or other proof of your expenses for as yourself and dependants, bring documentary proof such as accounts for school fees, insurance policies, other liabilities to which you may be subject,” said the Registrar.
The Registrar went on stating that Katsimberis can approach the plaintiff to organise a settlement and failure of which he might be committed to prison.
The builder was also recently ordered to pay the plaintiff when he caused the matter to be postponed and Justice Jacob Manzunzu ordered him to pay the costs.
