The penalty payment is only ancillary to the judgment it accompanies. It follows that an application to remove or vary a penalty payment attached to an injunction issued against a debtor by a judgment that has been the subject of partial quashing, which does not affect that injunction, is not admissible before the court of appeal on referral.
