Our team advised MCB in relation to the security release of certain secured petroleum assets that the borrower was selling to a third party.
We advised on the proposed release mechanism to ensure that the lender was paid from the purchase price whilst protecting its interests. We reviewed the security agreements and partial discharge of charge and attended to its perfection.
We had to think carefully about the mechanism for release of the security to ensure that the sale transaction could proceed to completion while ensuring that the lender was adequately protected. The notice on the deal is here: https://gulfenergy.co.ke/downloads/communication-to-suppliers-and-partners.pdf

The conundrum of unsolicited bids
Municipalities regularly receive unsolicited bids, which are offers by third parties on their own initiative and without an invitation from a municipality to provide the municipality with goods or services. The general principle is that municipalities are not obliged to consider unsolicited bids as they fall outside the normal bidding process. In the circumstances, when a municipality does choose to consider an unsolicited bid it must do so within the prescribed legislative framework.

I have misplaced my title deed, the Deeds Office does not have a duplicate copy: What do I do now?
What happens when you are in the process of selling your property or applying for mortgage finance and cannot find your original registered title deed? You contact a firm of conveyancing attorneys for advice and guidance as to what can be done, and they advise you that an application for a replacement of the title deed in terms of Regulation 68(1) of the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937 (Act) will need to be submitted (see previous alert on Title Deeds are meant to be kept safe, not for inspiring young pilots ). However if the deeds registries’ copy is not available then an application for a certificate of registered title taking the place of a lost, destroyed, incomplete or unserviceable deed in terms of section 38 of the Act will need to be made.
