NOT A TRIFLE TO WALK AWAY FROM A SALE<\/h2>\n

Myburgh v Equestrian Valley (Pty) Ltd (15986\/2012) [2016] ZAWCHC 6 (4 February 2016)<\/h3>\n

Singh and Another v Mount Edgecombe Country Club Estate and Others (3962\/2014, 1118\/2014, 4375\/2014) [2016] ZAKZDHC 2 (4 February 2016)<\/h3>\n

As often is the case, the court is tasked with defusing the tension, assessing what an owner thinks is unfair and what the governing board’s assumed reasonable rules are. The judgment also deals with the tricky issue of deactivating access discs as a consequence of non-payment of penalties.<\/p>\n
