Lions Hill Development Company (Pty) Limited and Others v Investec Bank Limited (8491/2022) [2024] ZAWCHC 390 (26 November 2024)
The court found that the applicants had unequivocally acquiesced in the settlement agreements and addenda made orders of court, thereby perempting any right to seek rescission or variation. The applicants benefited from the orders, negotiated further terms, and only challenged the orders when enforcement became imminent. The orders, though incorporating some terms not strictly part of the original action, were entered into within the context of litigation and are not objectionable. The orders are final, clear, and enforceable as judgments, establishing liability for the consolidated debt, cos…

Sadien NO and Others v Sadien and Others (LCC26/10) [2024] ZALCC 38 (1 November 2024)
The Court held that the intervening parties are entitled to be substituted as claimants under the original restitution orders because the evidence demonstrates that the original applicants acted in a representative capacity for the Sadien family, and the orders were intended to benefit the family as a whole. The Commission processed the claim as a consolidated family claim, and all relevant parties except SARDA consented to the relief. SARDA lacks standing to oppose the intervention or seek rescission or variation of the orders, as its interest is limited to compensation, per the Constitution…

The Full Court's binding precedent in In Re Protection of Certain Personal Injury Awards requires that references to the Administration of Estates Act and curator bonis remuneration be removed from protective trust orders and deeds. Trustee remuneration and administration costs must be set out in detail in the court order or trust instrument, based on evidence of complexity and administrative burden. The applicants' proposed fee structure, including fixed drafting and registration fees, annual management fees, and specific administration costs, is reasonable and equitable for the consolidated…

Pietersen and Others v Drakenstein Municipality and Others (LCC88/2019B) [2023] ZALCC 45 (18 December 2023)
The Land Claims Court is a creature of statute and derives its powers from the Restitution of Land Rights Act. Section 35(11) of the Act expressly prohibits the court from varying or suspending orders made by the Supreme Court of Appeal; such applications must be made to the appellate court itself. The relief sought by the applicants, including suspension, variation, or addition to the SCA order, falls outside the jurisdiction of this court. The municipality has not discharged its obligation under the SCA order, as it has only made offers of accommodation but has not made emergency housing av…
