Interesting Judgment: Shiva Uranium & Other v Tayob & Others
09 November 2021
The question before the Constitutional Court revolved around the following facts:
- The first applicant was placed into voluntary business rescue initiated in terms of Section 129
- The High Court appointed a business rescue practitioner in terms of Section 130 (6) (a)
- The Court appointed business rescue practitioner resigned
- Who then has the power to appoint the replacement of the Court-appointed business rescue practitioner?
The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the power resided with the company’s board.
The Constitutional Court upheld this decision and the appeal was dismissed.
