Rooplal N.O v Khangela and Another (11111 / 2020) [2021] ZAGPJHC 667 (5 November 2021)

The court found that the applicant was entitled to enforce the settlement agreement, which extinguished the underlying debt. The respondent had proper notice of the alternative relief sought and failed to establish a sustainable defence. The respondent’s assertion that she did not understand her personal liability under the settlement agreement was rejected as implausible, given her experience and the clarity of the agreement. The National Credit Act was not applicable to the compromise agreement being enforced. The respondent is personally liable to pay the applicant R4.3 million, with inter…
