1.
The applicant RAF seeks urgently to interdict a
pending sale in execution of its movables pending a rescission

respondent is an illegal foreigner and therefore the settlement which
was made an order
of court stands to be set aside.

the respondent is a foreigner and accordingly a case for urgency is
not made
out.
