What’s in a name? The status of Tax Courts as courts of law

The South African legal system is host to a number of quasi-judicial decision-making bodies which, while having the power to make decisions which are authoritative and may be binding on parties and while conducting proceedings in a judicial manner, cannot be described as courts of law in the proper sense. The High Court in the case of Poulter v The Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (A88/2023) ZAWCHC had to determine whether the Tax Court was a court of law for the purposes of deciding whether a taxpayer could be represented by a layperson in the Tax Court. It should be noted that the Tax Court first considered the issue of a layperson’s right of appearance before it in 2016 (see our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 9 September 2016), which we refer tobelow.

Creditors vs practitioners: When business rescue turns into a battle royale

Over the last few years, business rescue has become a popular tool for businesses to use to get some breathing room from their creditors in instances where the business is financially distressed. Two main role players in the business rescue process are creditors and the business rescue practitioner. Creditors, based on their voting interest, have the right to vote for or against a business rescue plan. The practitioner has an obligation to act in the best interest of all stakeholders, including creditors and the company in business rescue. The case of Reiscor Two (Pty) Ltd ta Bootleggers v Anheuser-Busch Inbev Africa (Pty) Ltd and Others dealt with an instance where the creditors voted against the business rescue plan (plan) and the business rescue practitioner (practitioner) was of the view that the vote was inappropriate in thecircumstances.
