Nedbank Limited v Mbili and Others (NCT/17149/2014/165) [2015] ZANCT 6 (23 February 2015)

Nedbank Limited v Mbili and Others (NCT/17149/2014/165) [2015] ZANCT 6 (23 February 2015)

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide cogent reasons justifying a variation of the order as required by section 165 of the National Credit Act. The application did not demonstrate that any of the statutory grounds for variation or rescission—such as error, ambiguity, omission, or a common mistake—were present. The proposed changes would alter the debt re-arrangement previously agreed to by all parties, but no basis under section 165 was established. Accordingly, the application for variation was dismissed.
