The Western Cape High Court dealt with an application to confirm a provisional liquidation order against Polanocol Proprietary Limited. The judgment notes arguments about an alleged share block scheme on agricultural land and concludes by making the rule nisi absolute and placing the respondent under final liquidation. The court also ordered that the costs of the application be costs in the liquidation, including counsel on Scale B.
This may be relevant to insolvency and company-law matters, as well as disputes mentioning share block schemes and agricultural land.
