Published for general information purposes, the annual guide begins with a high-level overview of South Africa, followed by 17 in-depth chapters which focus on specific areas of law. As such, DBSA may prove useful holistically – for those seeking an introduction to a country often used as a springboard for investment into Africa; or in part – for those wanting a general understanding of a particular commercial framework.

Please note that DBSA is not intended as legal advice. We do, however, hope our guide will prompt a detailed consultation about your specific business needs and visions in South Africa. Please feel free to contact us should you require our expert opinion.

The issue of procedural rights and settlement agreements in the adjudication of the defence of fraud against the enforcement of a performance guarantee

The parties to a construction contract often agree to the conclusion of separate financial arrangements with third parties for the purposes of ensuring financial security and project success. Where such an agreement is in place, the contractor procures an undertaking furnished by a guarantor, who is an authorised financial services provider, to pay a specified amount to the employer where the contractor (or subcontractor) fails to perform in terms of the contract. This undertaking is known as a performance guarantee.
