International contracts are contracts concluded between two parties situated in different countries. A jurisdictional clause in an international contract typically states which country’s court will hear a dispute if one arises between the parties. The country’s court that hears the matter and hands down judgment may not be where the adverse party is situated. The principle of national sovereignty means a state has supreme authority within its territory and, based on this principle, a judgment obtained in one country is not automatically enforceable in another.

Bringing (and keeping) home the bacon: SARS’ repatriation and collection powers affirmed

Sections 180, 184(2) and 186(3) of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) grant the South African Revenue Service (SARS) significant powers to recover tax debts from third parties responsible for a taxpayer’s failure to pay outstanding tax debts. In the recent case of Greyvensteyn v Commissioner for South African Revenue Service and Others (B2495/2023) ZAGPPHC 128, the applicant unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of these provisions. The High Court dismissed the application and emphasised that, while SARS’ powers and duties of recovery of taxes are not absolute, the recovery of taxes is crucial to ensure that the public benefit and public interest are served.

Ignore sequestration proceedings at your peril

Parties who agree to be personally liable for a debt, for example by way of signing a suretyship or a guarantee, should take heed of the potentially dire consequences for them if they choose to ignore subsequent sequestration proceedings against them. In the recent case of Eamon Courtney v Izak Johannes Boshoff NO and Others (483/2023) ZASCA 104, the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) dealt with the consequences facing a party should it not defend sequestration proceedings, despite such proceedings being procedurally flawed.
