Sussman v Nedbank Ltd (30501/2020) [2023] ZAGPJHC 240 (15 March 2023)

Sussman v Nedbank Ltd (30501/2020) [2023] ZAGPJHC 240 (15 March 2023)

The court found that Nedbank's delay in filing the summary judgment application was minor and satisfactorily explained. No material prejudice was suffered by Ms Sussman, and Nedbank discharged its onus to obtain condonation. The Rule 30 application to strike out was dismissed as the condonation was granted. Furthermore, Nedbank established a prima facie right and satisfied the requirements for interim interdict relief, justifying the order for the Sheriff to take possession of the motor vehicle pending finalization of the main dispute.
