Big Brother Amplified (BBA) winner Wendall Parson has been granted the nod to attach property belonging to a local firm Nu-Aero, trading as Fresh Air, to recover $24 500 in damages after a deal meant to benefit children, collapsed before consummation.
Wendall is a trained pilot and 2011 winner of BBA.
He successfully sued Fresh Air in the High Court for $24 500 over the failed deal which strained relations between the celebrity and the airline.
Last week, Wendall obtained a writ of execution of the movable goods of Fresh Air at the same court.
The writ, which was witnessed by Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku, was signed on June 15, 2015.
Wendall, through his lawyer, Mr Harrison Nkomo of Mhishi Legal Practice, won the case for damages at the High Court in November last year. The deal Wendall entered with Fresh Air and Professor Matipedza Karase was going to benefit hundreds of schoolchildren from 19 Harare schools.
Pupils were paying $70 for flying and an hour of touring Great Zimbabwe. They were also going to be photographed with Wendall.
In his claim submitted at the High Court on September 23, 2011, Wendall said he entered into an agreement with Karase representing himself and the aviation company, Fresh Air.
The parties agreed that Fresh Air would use the good name and services of Wendall for $31 500.
The summons stated that the period of agreement was from September 23 to November 30 2011.
In compliance with the agreement, Wendall performed his obligations and made himself available to Karase and Fresh Air.
Karase and Fresh Air only paid Wendall $10 500 leaving a balance of $21 500.
Despite demand, Karase and Fresh Air neglected to pay the outstanding balance leading to the lawsuit.
