Firstrand Bank Ltd t/a Wesbank v Baliso (4064/2013) [2015] ZAWCHC 146 (21 January 2015)

The court held that section 127(2)(b) of the National Credit Act does not require delivery of the notice by registered mail, nor does it require compliance with the Sebola guidelines applicable to section 129(1) notices.

Absa Bank Limited v Mykatrade 361 CC t/a CMC Boksburg (46917/2010) [2011] ZAGPJHC 251 (9 December 2011)

The court found that the applicant had proved ownership of the vehicles by virtue of the floorplan and agency agreements with CMC East London and payment to CCE Holdings. Delivery to CMC East London was on behalf of the applicant, and the applicant obtained physical possession pursuant to a court order.
