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 ”.

Trust me, it’s effective: A discussion of when a trustee’s resignation is deemed to be effective

Trust me, it’s effective: A discussion of when a trustee’s resignation is deemed to be effective Trusts are often faced with trustee resignations, which can impact the remaining trustees’ ability to carry out their duties and functions. Section 21 of the Trust Property Control Act 57 of 1988 affords trustees the right to resign by providing that, whether or not the trust deed provides for trustee resignations, a trustee may resign by notice in writing to the Master of the High Court (Master) and the beneficiaries who have legal capacity, or tutors or curators of the beneficiaries of the trust under tutorship or curatorship. The trust deed may also have its own resignation regime, for instance it may provide that a resignation may be affected by written notice to the co-trustees.
