Appealing or Rescinding? That is the question when dealing with judgments granted against a person without their knowledge

The Uniform Rules of Court direct that any document initiating legal proceedings must be served by the Sheriff of the High Court on a defendant/respondent. The purpose of this rule is to bring to the attention of the defendant/respondent that legal proceedings have been brought against them. The Uniform Rules of Court, however, do not always require the document instituting the legal proceedings to be personally served on the defendant/respondent. This can lead to a situation where judgment is granted against a person without their knowledge.

Chapter 6 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) confers various powers on business rescue practitioners (BRPs) once they have assumed their responsibilities to restructure the affairs of a company that has been placed under business rescue. This is achieved through the temporary supervision of the company, and the management of its affairs, business and property, by the BRP; a temporary moratorium on the rights of claimants against the company or in respect of property belonging to the company or lawfully in the possession of the company; and the development and implementation, if approved, of a business rescue plan to rescue the company by restructuring its affairs, amongst other things.
