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 ”.

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.
