In the alternative, the applicant asks that the first and second respondents be ordered to pay the said sum of money jointly and severally the one paying the other to be absolved. The further alternative relief is for the Exchange Control Directive No. R120/2018 to be declared a nullity or, in the further alternative, that s 44B(3) and (4) of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Act [Chapter 22:15] be declared unconstitutional. Costs of suit are in the main sought against the first respondent and, in the alternative, against all the respondents jointly and severally the one paying the others to be absolved. The application is opposed by all the respondents.
