BUYER’S RISKS ON TARDY COMPLIANCE WITH SALE PROVISIONS<\/h2>\n

Macakati v Larry and Others (6776\/2016) [2016] ZAWCHC 73 (15 June 2016)<\/h3>\n

In this matter the property purchaser was late in making payment of costs and the balance purchase price and, even after demand to pay within seven days – failing which the agreement would be cancelled, he only made the payment a few days after the stipulated period. Thereafter, without however sending a formal letter of cancellation, the seller sold the property to a third party. Would the purchaser’s claim for transfer succeed in the circumstances?<\/p>\n

USE AND ENJOYMENT OF PREMISES THREATENED: TENANT WALKS OFF<\/h2>\n

Herr v Innomet (Pty) Ltd Limited (394\/2015) [2016] ZASCA 82 (31 May 2016)<\/h3>\n

This is the scenario that was presented to the Supreme Court of Appeal for adjudication in this matter. The judgment is an interesting read and illustrates the duties of a landlord in such cases.<\/p>\n
