Tribunal takes no nonsense with director removals

Section 71 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Act) sets out the process of removing a director of a company. Usually, subsections 3 and 4 would apply, which prescribe (i) a shareholder or board resolution authorising such removal; and (ii) prior notice of such resolution being given to the affected director. In the case of Howard N.O v Powell and Another (CT01682ADJ2024) COMPTRI 57 (24 May 2024), the Companies Tribunal (Tribunal) confirmed the process of the alternative mode of removal of a director when there are fewer than three directors in theboard.

Understanding the transitional provisions of the Upstream Petroleum Resources Development Act

In the high-stakes world of the oil and gas sector, few things cause more disruption than new legislation, and the recently assented to Upstream Petroleum Resources Development Act 23 of 2024 (Upstream Act) is no exception. The Upstream Act was introduced to separate the governance of petroleum resources from mineral resources, both previously regulated under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA). This separation signals a more focused, agile regulatory approach to petroleum and a clear sign to global investors that South Africa is determined to unlock its hydrocarbon potential.

Show me the money

In the case of National Director of Public Prosecutions v Dhurgasamy JOL 60116 (GJ), the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) applied for a forfeiture order under section 53, alternatively section 50 read with section 48, of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (POCA). The application sought to declare certain property, specifically USD 630,700 in cash seized at OR Tambo International Airport on 11 September 2018, forfeit to the state. The Gauteng Division of the High Court in Johannesburg delivered judgment on 26 July 2023, granting the forfeiture order under section 50 of POCA. The court found that, on a balance of probabilities, the seized cash constituted the proceeds of unlawful activities, specifically violations of exchange control regulations and involvement in money laundering operations. The respondent failed to provide a credible explanation for the lawful origin of the funds, and his claims of obtaining the money through a loan for business purposes were unsubstantiated and lacked supporting evidence. The court noted inconsistencies and improbabilities in his account, leading to the conclusion that the funds were indeed derived from unlawful activities.
