Dlamini v Swaziland Development and Savings Bank (34772/2007) [2008] ZAGPHC 187 (25 June 2008)

The application was dismissed because the respondent was not properly served with the application and notices of set down, depriving the court of jurisdiction to entertain the matter. Furthermore, the applicant failed to establish locus standi, as he appeared to be an unrehabilitated insolvent and did not provide evidence of rehabilitation or rescission of the sequestration order. The court found that the applicant was not entitled to claim the refund sought without first rescinding the underlying judgment relied upon in the sequestration proceedings.
