LLLG Contractors Engineering had filed an application at the Bulawayo High Court seeking an order compelling the Housing Trust to settle the debt.

Bulawayo High Court Judge Justice Nicholas Mathonsi ruled that The Quard Housing Trust must ay the LLLG Contractors Engineering the sum of $119 600 due on account of purchase of 80 housing stands, road network and survey costs.
