The Western Cape High Court dealt with a dispute about an auction mandate and conditions of sale for immovable property in Atlantis Industrial, Cape Town. The court granted the applicant specific performance, dismissed the respondents’ stay application, and ordered transfer steps to be taken if the respondents did not act within 14 days. The judgment also records that the third respondent had countersigned the conditions of sale on behalf of the first and second respondents.
This may be relevant to auction sales, specific performance and disputes about authority to sign sale documents.
