The court found that at the time Beryl Partners initiated business rescue proceedings for Beryl Coal, multiple liquidation applications were pending, including those by SG Coal, D&R, and Jabula. This rendered the business rescue proceedings invalid under section 129(2) of the Companies Act. Furthermore, the business rescue application failed to comply with section 131(6) due to improper service and lack of notification to SARS, a major creditor.

Moyo v Old Mutual Limited and Others (34004/2019) [2021] ZAGPJHC 665 (23 August 2021)

The court found that the applicant failed to provide a full and reasonable explanation for the delays in prosecuting the matters, and that the prejudice suffered by the respondents, particularly the ongoing stigma and regulatory uncertainty, outweighed the applicant's financial and personal hardship. The court held that the interests of justice and the balance of convenience favoured the respondents, and that postponement of the delinquency application would unduly prolong the prejudice.
