DEFAULTING PURCHASER SEEKS TO INTERDICT ON-SELLING<\/h4>\n

Fatmols Lodges Proprietary Ltd v Botha and Others (017800\/2023) [2024] ZAGPJHC 30 (17 January 2024)<\/p>\n

An anti-dissipation interdict is similar to an \u2018ordinary\u2019 interdict, but only to a certain extent. In a property law context, an application for an interdict of this nature is considered where a purchaser, who has entered into a property sale agreement, seeks to interdict the seller from dealing with the property because of the apprehension that the seller, who is leaving the country, might not return their deposit. As this case illustrates, an anti-dissipation interdict will not be granted in the absence of proof of distinct facts. To that end, the summary below elucidates the requirements to succeed.<\/p>\n

In our discussion below, we look at the various stakeholders\u2019 points of departure in the context of the legislative requirements.<\/p>\n
