This week in motion

THE motion court roll was dominated this week by First National Bank which moved in on vehicle owners not honouring instalment sale agreements made with the financial institution. Standard Bank, usually dominant in all money matters, appears to have cleared a lot of its debt book focusing primarily on defaulters on home loans. Bank Windhoek did not feature. Private matters too declined, forecasting the slowing of motion matters towards the end of the year.
