J.R v L.R (078368/2024)

J.R v L.R (078368/2024) [2025] ZAGPPHC 99 (4 February 2025)

The applicant failed to establish a prima facie right to suspend execution of the accrual payment order. The settlement agreement was freely negotiated, signed, and made an order of court after proper legal representation. The applicant's challenge is based on alleged errors in accrual calculation, but he provided no recalculation or expert evidence and did not plead rectification in the pending action. The non-variation clause and relevant case law confirm the finality of the agreement. The applicant's offer to pay the disputed amount into trust negates any claim of irreparable harm. The bal…

Technologies Acceptance Receivable (Pty) Limited and Another v Pieter Toerien Productions CC t/a Theatre on the Bay and Others (4086/2020) [2024] ZAWCHC 431 (18 December 2024)

The court found that the handwritten amendment to the Master Rental Agreement (MRA) was ineffective because it was not signed by both parties as required by the non-variation clause. The contract remained in its unamended form, and the plaintiffs could not claim the higher rental amount. The cession agreements validly transferred rights, but the warranties and indemnities covered only the contract as it existed, not the purported amendment. Public policy did not justify disregarding the non-variation clause, as no evidence was presented of circumstances warranting such intervention. The count…
