This was held in a decree issued by Mr Justice Joseph Zammit McKeon presiding the First Hall of the Civil Court in Pierre and Sonia Tanti -v- Simon and Lucienne Zammit. This was delivered on 20 March 2020. The applicants, the Tantis, asked the Court to block any sale or any type of transfer of a berth in Msida Creek, Msida. The defendants did not oppose the facts of the case, but objected that the warrant of prohib- itory injunction be issued purely on legal considerations. In the proceedings, Dr Austin Gau- ci Maistre, company secretary of the Creek Development Limited, the op- erator of the marinas in Ta' Xbiex and Msida, had testified. He explained that if a person needs a berth, he or she would have to apply to the com- pany. The company will then issue the rates and if accepted a contract is drawn up. All berths are issued on a temporary basis, with a limited time period. This would be subject to re- newal. There is a distinction between berths which were given by the Trans- port Malta, before the company took over the operation of the marina and those berths given by the company. In the former case, the contract stat- ed that the berths were automatically renewed, only when the berth holder decided not to renew it. In these cas- es, if a boat is sold, it may be sold on its own or else with the berth. In this latter case, the company would need a copy of the sale of the boat. The vendor and purchaser would go the company's offices and assign the as- signment. Boats sold with berths are more expensive, than without. The berth in question is one which was given by Transport Malta in the past. Mr Justice Zammit McKeon, re- ferred to Article 873 of the Code of Organisation and Civil Procedure, which reads: "873. (1) The object of a warrant of prohibitory injunction is to restrain a person from doing anything whatso- ever which might be prejudicial to the person suing out the warrant. Inquiry of court. (2) The court shall not issue any such warrant unless it is satisfied that such warrant is necessary in order to preserve any right of the person suing out the warrant, and that prima facie such person appears to possess such right." Therefore, a Court is prohibited from issuing a warrant if is not pro- tecting the rights of the applicant and the level of evidence required is pri- ma facie, meaning on the face of it. The third element is that if the Court does not issue the warrant the preju- dice cannot remedied. Case-law, has discussed all the el- ements of a precautionary warrant. In Grech pro et noe -v- Manfre, the Court of Appeal held that the prima facie is an objective notion and not subjective, depending on the judge's discretion. According to Xuereb noe -v- Hi- li noe, decided by the Commercial Court on 22 September 1994, the need to file a precautionary warrant should be in exceptional circumstances. Furthermore, the procedure to have a precautionary warrant confirmed should be done summarily and this is why the law sets short time limits. The parties are not asked to produce all the evidence concerning the mer- its of the case, but merely that there exists a right. As to the merits of the application for the warrant, the Court analysed the contract between the parties. In the where the spouses Zammit bound themselves to sell the boat togeth- er with the pontoon at no charge. This had to take place within three (3) years. There is not contestation that money was exchanged and that there was a sale of a boat. The only defence that the Defendants put up was that the agreement was null and void, since the underlying agreement was illicit and prohibited at law. The Court held that it would not discuss and decide on the merits of wheth- er the agreement was null and void, however, it concluded that there is a right to protect until these proceed- ings are concluded. Furthermore, the Court noted that the applicants are not asking for dam- ages, but for the dependants fulfil its contractual obligations, meaning the transfer of the berth. As to whether if the warrant is not issued there will be no remedy, the Court was also satis- fied, since if the berth is transferred, then the applicants' right would be unenforceable. The Court then moved to uphold the request to issue a warrant of pro- hibitory injunction for the transfer of the berth. Warrant upheld once it is satisfying all the requests LAW
