The High Court dealt with two linked applications: summary judgment for payment of R2,177,923.39 and an application to declare the defendant’s residential property specially executable. The Court refused summary judgment, granted leave to defend, and postponed the Rule 46A application sine die. The judgment records issues about prescription, quantum, liquidity, and the earlier withdrawn action.
It may be relevant to credit litigation, summary judgment practice, and Rule 46A matters involving residential property.
