This matter dealt with an agreement that required such documentation to be obtained by the purchaser, with no obligation that these had to be provided to the seller or his agent. As such, communication by the purchaser to the seller, accompanied by the bank&#8217;s letter confirming that it approved the loan application was regarded as adequate to fulfill the suspensive condition. The seller&#8217;s argument that the sale had lapsed as no quotation and a pre-agreement were provided was rejected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>read more<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saflii.org\/za\/cases\/ZAFSHC\/2017\/54.html\"><span style=\"color: #e66a21;\">The Judgment<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/stbb.co.za\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/stbb_plu14-2017_s1.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #e66a21;\">Summary of the Judgment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>STBB&#8217;s STSMA REFERENCE GUIDE<\/h2>\n<p>In this, the twenty-second set of notes for your STSMA Reference Guide, regulation 6 of the Act is discussed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>read more<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/stbb.co.za\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/stbb_plu14-2017_s2.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #e66a21;\">Regulation 6 (Notifications)<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<i>(N.B.
