Judgment: K R Knoop and Others v Tegeta Exploration and Resources (Pty) Ltd and Others
03 July 2025
Dear Member
The SCA had to decide whether the Court a quo erred in issuing a declaratory order that the attorneys for the Second Respondent were authorised to represent such respondent in the main application, and whether a director has the power to appoint attorneys on behalf of a company in business rescue.
The Court found that the Fifth and Sixth Respondents had no authority to represent the companies and instruct attorneys to appeal the judgment of the High Court.
The appeal succeeded with costs.
Kindly provided to us by Parveen Munga of SmitSew Attorneys and Amy Mackechnie of Werksmans Attorneys.
Take care,
René Bekker
