Respondent

Procedural Posture

Sequestration Application / Final Order

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the respondent has discharged the onus to prove she is not insolvent.
  2. 2 Whether the provisional sequestration order should be made final.
  3. 3 Whether the respondent's opposition to the sequestration is based on bona fide and reasonable grounds.

Ratio Decidendi

The respondent failed to discharge the evidentiary burden to show that the provisional sequestration order should be resisted on bona fide and reasonable grounds. Her opposition was based solely on the pending rescission application, which was subsequently dismissed with costs, confirming the validity of the applicant's claim. The respondent's financial position, including the nulla bona return and inability to satisfy the judgment debt, supports the applicant's case for final sequestration. The requirements of the Insolvency Act have been met, and there is no reason to discharge the provisional order.

Court Disposition

Final sequestration order granted against the respondent's estate.

Orders

  • The estate of the respondent is placed under final sequestration.
  • The costs of this application are costs in the insolvent estate.
