EMK v EMB (2024-094190; 2023-010767) [2025] ZAGPPHC 289 (18 March 2025)
The court held that both the plaintiff in the divorce matter and the applicant in the application failed to meet the evidentiary burden required to prove the existence of a valid customary marriage. The pleadings and affidavits lacked sufficient detail regarding the specific customs, traditions, and compliance with the requirements of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act and the applicable customary law.

Shackleton Credit Management (Pty) Ltd v Mogodi (17233/2022) [2024] ZAGPJHC 662 (16 July 2024)
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 provisio…

The court found that the applicant failed to establish reasonable prospects of success for leave to appeal. The grounds of appeal were unduly prolix, lacked clarity, and did not substantiate errors or misdirections. The applicant did not discharge the evidentiary burden to refute the contempt finding, providing only assertions and insufficient detail regarding his financial circumstances. The new ground raised at the hearing, concerning procedural fairness in submissions on sanction, was not included in the notice of application and prejudiced the respondent. The court held that the applicant…
