Peteke v Khumalo and Others (2025-009348) [2025] ZAGPPHC 447 (6 May 2025)
The court found that the applicant established a prima facie right to the relief sought, based on evidence of a customary marriage and joint estate, including proof of lobola negotiations and cohabitation. The risk of irreparable harm through dissipation of estate assets was real and imminent. The balance of convenience favoured the applicant, who stood to suffer greater prejudice if the interdict was not granted, while the respondents would not be unduly prejudiced by a temporary suspension of estate administration. The applicant had no alternative remedy. The respondents' administration of…

The applicant established a prima facie right to the property based on the settlement agreement and the Rule 43 court order, both of which support her claim to the property pending the divorce. The urgency of the application was justified, as the applicant sought compliance before launching proceedings and acted promptly upon learning of the sale agreement. The respondent's financial arguments were found to be unconvincing, given his substantial income and prior findings of contempt. The sale of the property would irreparably harm the applicant by rendering her claim and any future judgment m…

DPD Laser Logistics (Pty) Ltd v Democratic True Revolutionary Union of South Africa (DETRUSA) and Others (2024/133059) [2024] ZALCJHB 478 (27 November 2024)
The court found that the demands made by DETRUSA and the employees, specifically the suspension and investigation of a management employee, were unlawful as they required the employer to act contrary to the Labour Relations Act, which prohibits unfair suspension or disciplinary action. The demand for consistent application of discipline was held to be a rights dispute, subject to arbitration or adjudication under the LRA, and thus not a permissible basis for protected strike action under section 65(1)(c). The applicant satisfied the requirements for urgent interim relief, having demonstrated…
