The Constitutional Court dealt with proceedings arising from the unlawful award of a social grants payment tender to Cash Paymaster Services. It ordered CPS to refund an adjusted certified profit of R81 286 177 to SASSA and granted SASSA leave to prove a concurrent claim. The Court also declared that, if CPS succeeds in its pending upward price adjustment action, any increased price paid to CPS need not be refunded as additional profit.
This may be relevant to public procurement, administrative law and insolvency matters involving SASSA, CPS and related claim calculations.
