Preliminary Issues
2) The application was served on the 9th of June 2014, on the respondent. I am
consequently satisfied that the respondent’s lack of participation in these
proceedings is not due to lack of service.
3) The Deponent to the Applicant’s papers is Dimitrios Tasioudis Tasios, who avers
that he is an employee (sales manager for foreign countries) of HB Body SA (the
applicant). He further alleges that he is authorised to depose to his affidavit and to
represent the Applicant in this matter.
