To institute or not to institute liquidation proceedings (that is the question)

It is a well-established principle in our law that insolvency/liquidation proceedings are not meant to be used for the recovery of a debt – the courts regard this as an abuse of (legal) process. Rather, the purpose of insolvency proceedings, as per Trengove AJ in Investec Bank Ltd and Another v Mutemeri and Another (O9/22247) ZAGPJHC 64 is “ to bring about a convergence of the claims in an insolvent estate to ensure that it is wound up in an orderly fashion and that creditors are treated equally ”.

The interplay between set-off and post-liquidation debt

The High Court indicated that the answer is “ No ” and, inter alia , ordered the creditor to pay the amount of the net proceeds of the realised security to the joint liquidators. The interplay between set-off and post-liquidation debt was therefore considered by the Supreme Court of Appeal in Emontic Investments (Pty) Ltd v Bothomley NO and Others (1123/2022) ZASCA 1 (9 January 2024).
