The plaintiff said it discovered in June 2009 that Sacvin Nigeria was allegedly selling in Nigeria plastic products with the design of Sacvin, though not its own but closely resembling and identical in design to its products.
It claimed to have been experiencing difficulties in sales as a result of the defendants’ company’s infringement, and was incurring financial loss on daily basis.
The court, on July 9, 2009 granted an interim order restraining Sacvin Nigeria from further engaging in the trade or business of manufacturing and selling or distributing the plastic products and surrender them to the court pending the determination of the substantive suit.
The defendants ignored the said orders and went ahead with its business, a development that informed the contempt proceedings.
Vik Industries’ lawyer, Chukwudi Enebeli told the court while arguing his application yesterday that the defendants disobeyed the July 2009 orders with impunity and engaged in manufacturing, importing, supplying, selling and distributing the plastic products.
Enebeli consequently urged the court to commit the defendant company’s directors, who were in court, to prison for disobeying the order of the court. He said if they were not penalized, they will persist in disobeying the order of the court.
Defence lawyer, Dan Olowojaiye, who did not file any counter motion to the contempt proceedings,Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? argued that the directors cited for contempt were not personally served with the court’s orders.
He claimed that the said contempt was carried out by the company and not the directors, an argument Enebeli countered, insisting that it was the court’s directive that the orderwas to paste it at the premises of the court. He added that the directors are the directing minds of the company.
Justice Tsoho upheld Enebeli’s argument and held that the directors, being the directing minds of a company, are liable for any act committed by the company.
The judge rejected the defence lawyer’s suggestion that his client be given an option of fine on the ground that it will make a mockery of the judicial system and consequently sentenced the three directors to a month imprisonment.
