The High Court of South Africa, Western Cape Division, Cape Town, dealt with a dispute about a written mutual separation agreement concluded on 29 January 2021. The judgment records that the plaintiff sought payment under the agreement, while the defendant relied on an alleged failure to disclose a business relationship and conflict of interest involving the plaintiff and a customer. The court dismissed the claim and declared the rescission of the separation agreement valid.
This appears to concern employment settlement agreements, non disclosure, and alleged misrepresentation by omission in a corporate setting.
