Rectification of security cession agreements: How far does it go?

The provision of security is imperative for most transactions in finance. Various types of security exist, one of them being a “ cession in security ”, which forms the basis of what follows. A cession in security typically creates security interests in the cedent’s personal rights to book debts, moneys in bank accounts, insurance policies, shareholder claims, etc. but what happens when it emerges that the cession in security agreement incorrectly describes the security’s beneficiary? This was the question considered by the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in Prevance Bonds (Pty) Ltd v Voltex (Pty) Ltd (58/2022) ZASCA 40 (31 March 2023).

The lights are still not on, but someone has finally come home

Every South African is currently faced with the ongoing negative effects of rolling electricity blackouts, which Government euphemistically refers to as “ loadshedding ”. It affects our businesses, our homes, our livelihoods, our safety and our faith in the future of our country.

Revised financials and a shotgun approach: Another chapter in an ongoing Tax Court dispute

Earlier this year, in our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 2 February 2023 , we discussed a Tax Court judgment where the South African Revenue Service (SARS) requested the Tax Court to order that a matter, prior to its hearing, be referred back to SARS in terms of section 129(2)(c) of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA). This was pursuant to a taxpayer alleging during the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process that previous financial statements provided were incorrect. The Tax Court declined to grant the order as it held that it was not competent to do so in terms of the section – such an order could only be made pursuant to the hearing of the matter.

Who will blink first?

In the arena of competition law, it is not unusual to see large corporates battle with regulators. However, in recent years, powerful companies have gone further – by pulling the plug on their provision of products and services entirely – when they perceive regulation going too far.
