THE Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has been temporarily barred by the High Court from evicting an Arima plumber and his family after they filed an application for urgent injunctive relief over the weekend.
On Saturday night, Justice Frank Seepersad granted a forthwith injunction ordering the State-run housing company to immediately allow homeowner Steve Lawrence to re-enter his residence.
Court filings state that Lawrence and his late father had entered into a rent-to-own agreement with the HDC in 2008 for the property at Bluestone Street, Arima.
