Civil Procedure [2012] ZAECPEHC 55

Active Cooling v Lefutshe Electrical and Construction CC (3838/2011)

Active Cooling v Lefutshe Electrical and Construction CC (3838/2011) [2012] ZAECPEHC 55 (10 August 2012)

The court found that the respondent's repeated undertakings to effect payment in settlement of the debt constituted an acknowledgement of liability, which interrupted the running of prescription under section 14(1) of the Prescription Act. The respondent failed to dispute the applicant's factual averments and only raised prescription as a defence. The court held that there was no merit in the submission that the matter should be referred for oral evidence, as the applicant's case remained unanswered. Consequently, the applicant was entitled to a final winding-up order against the respondent.
