The High Court dealt with an urgent application by Standard Bank to convert DSCM Consultants CC’s business rescue proceedings into liquidation. The court recorded that DSCM had lost its main customer and source of revenue, and found that there was no reasonable prospect of rescue. It ordered that the business rescue be converted into liquidation and that DSCM be placed into final liquidation.
This may be relevant to business rescue and insolvency practitioners, creditors and companies facing rescue or liquidation proceedings.
