Norris v Velox Auctioneers (Pty) Ltd (NCT/127046/2019/75(1)(b))

Norris v Velox Auctioneers (Pty) Ltd (NCT/127046/2019/75(1)(b)) [2019] ZANCT 106 (14 July 2019)

Court

National Consumer Tribunal

Case number

NCT/127046/2019/75(1)(b)

Judge

B Dumisa

The Tribunal found that the applicant did not satisfy the definition of a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, as the transaction was business-to-business and not aimed at protecting end-users. The auction agreement did not meet the requirements of Regulation 22, lacking clear rules of auction, fee descriptions, and provisions for reserve price outcomes. The Tribunal concluded it lacked jurisdiction to grant relief under the CPA for the applicant's claim, as the legislation does not cover the applicant's circumstances.
