Jabula Bleggings (Pty) Ltd and Others v Van Der Nist and Others (2025/108623)

Jabula Bleggings (Pty) Ltd and Others v Van Der Nist and Others (2025/108623) [2025] ZAKZPHC 69 (30 July 2025)

The court found that the Applicants failed to establish urgency beyond self-created circumstances and did not satisfy the requirements for a Mareva injunction. There was no evidence that Respondents intended to dissipate assets or frustrate any claim. The property remained registered in the names of First and Second Respondents, and any claims for breach of contract or damages could be resolved in the pending action. The application was substantially similar to previous proceedings dismissed on the merits, rendering the matter res judicata. The resignation of First Respondent as director of F…

Prime African (Pty) Ltd v Eskom Holding SOC Ltd and Others (2025/070166)

Prime African (Pty) Ltd v Eskom Holding SOC Ltd and Others (2025/070166) [2025] ZAWCHC 306 (25 July 2025)

The court found that Eskom was not in wilful contempt of the 2024 order. Although Eskom failed to meet the deadline for the emergency procurement process, the evidence demonstrated substantial compliance and bona fide efforts to comply, with delays attributable to legitimate procurement complexities. The applicant failed to prove intentional or flagrant disregard of the order. The request to amend the 2024 order was rejected, as the principle of finality precludes substantive changes except for clerical errors or ambiguities, which were not present. The interdict relief sought was incompetent…

Diale and Others v Alant Properties Investment (Pty) Ltd and Another (111146/2025)

Diale and Others v Alant Properties Investment (Pty) Ltd and Another (111146/2025) [2025] ZAGPPHC 750 (23 July 2025)

The court found that the applicants failed to establish a prima facie right to the property, as ownership is determined by registration and the title deed stands in the name of the first respondent. The eviction order was lawfully obtained and executed, and is subject to appeal but remains valid and enforceable until set aside. The alleged deregistration of the first respondent was not proven to have complied with statutory requirements, and in any event, does not affect the validity of the title or the eviction order. The applicants' contradictory claims regarding ownership and bona vacantia…

Bojanala Platinum District Municipality v Fourie and Others (2025/104750)

Bojanala Platinum District Municipality v Fourie and Others (2025/104750) [2025] ZALCJHB 306 (22 July 2025)

The Court found that the applicant failed to establish exceptional circumstances warranting intervention in the uncompleted CCMA arbitration. The alleged threats and safety concerns were speculative, inadequately substantiated, and related primarily to legal representatives rather than the applicant's officials. The applicant did not demonstrate irreparable harm or unfairness that could not be remedied after arbitration. The refusal of legal representation did not infringe any right, as such representation is not guaranteed in misconduct disputes before the CCMA. Intervening at this stage wou…

Umzwilili Environmental Solution v Rockwood Fund 1 GP (Pty) Ltd (2025/101302) [2025] ZAGPJHC 704 (21 July 2025)

The Court found that the Applicant failed to establish fraud on the part of the First Respondent in its demand under the guarantees. The evidence did not support a finding of fraudulent intent, as the First Respondent acted transparently and responded to requests for clarification from the banks. The computation of the amount claimed was based on the First Respondent's interpretation of the guarantee wording, and any dispute regarding the correct methodology is subject to arbitration, not judicial intervention at this stage. The Applicant's concerns about overpayment and irrecoverability were…
