Selling Your House? Choose Your Own Conveyancer
For most people, your house is your most important asset.  So when you sell it (or any other property for that matter), it is absolutely critical to entrust the process to a conveyancer you can trust to act with both speed and integrity.

When you sell property, the conveyancer is the specialist attorney appointed as “transferring attorney” and tasked with carrying out the process of registering the buyer as the new owner.  Only suitably qualified attorneys are admitted to practice as conveyancers, and only they can register transfer of ownership (and other property rights like mortgage bonds, servitudes etc) in the Deeds Office.

Business Rescue – Is It Too Late After Liquidation? The Supreme Court Of Appeal Speaks
ArticleImage
An important new SCA (Supreme Court of Appeal) decision recently addressed the following scenario -
  • A close corporation runs a business renting out its commercial properties.

  • The properties are bonded to a bank.

  • The close corporation was placed into final liquidation by the High Court despite contending that it should rather be placed under business rescue.

  • 5 months later it applied again for business rescue, but the High Court concluded that once a final liquidation is granted against a company (the same business rescue provisions apply to close corporations as to companies), it is too late to apply for business rescue.

  • On appeal however, the SCA held the opposite, in other words that you can apply for the business rescue of a company even after a final liquidation order is granted against it.
