Well done Team !!!

Carwash Worx v Clifford Bertie John Black and Zeldine Black

 

A matter of slander and defamation which is now costly:

 

In the matter of Carwash Worx v Clifford Bertie John Black and Zeldine Black, the Blacks are in for costs.  The Black’s made slanderous and defamatory allegations against our client Carwash Worx which was unfounded.  The subsequent application to interdict them was opposed but not contested, which resulted in an attorney and client cost order against the Blacks.  Notwithstanding the granting of the interdict the Blacks continued to defame Carwash Worx whereafter we brought a contempt of court application in which we applied to have the Blacks imprisoned for 30 days.  That finally spurred them to remove their slanderous and defamatory remarks from social media Platforms.  Now only the costs of the contempt of court applications needs to be argued. 

 

Well done Advocate J.C. Carstens, the office and Carwash Worx, it will teach them a lesson.

 

 

 

Something more on the benefit to creditors:

 

There are more ways to create a benefit to creditors in applications for voluntary surrenders.  It is not only the proceeds of a fixed or movable property or a cash contribution.  In the Ex Parte application of J.C Huneberg we used the outstanding invoices due to our client which invoices were for professional services rendered.  It was accepted by Honourable Judge Dippenaar. 

 

Well done girls an d Advocate J.C. Carstens !!!

Good News on Deceased Estates

 

The Estate of Number 17139/2022                     Click HERE to view detail

 

 

The estate was reported on the 17th of May 2022 and we received our letters of executorship now, that is within two months and notwithstanding the Master not having paper or toner. 

 

Good work Juanita and Archie !!!

Estate Late WJ Schmid // ABSA Bank                    Click HERE to view detail

 

 

This estate shows the disgraceful and disgusting conduct of ABSA bank.  ABSA was nominated as Trustees but did absolutely nothing, yet demanded payment of all their fees which is contrary to the Administration of Estates Act.  Our firm reported the estate, did all the necessary paper work, yet ABSA demanded R 245 282.40  before doing anything.  Then they even reverted to a lower level of disgust to shelve all paperwork until payment is received contrary to the Act, yet refuses to renunciate.  ABSA provides a fake pro forma cash reconciliation statement with an Estate Number that is fake and do not exist.  Look at the account and see the charges they are not authorized to charge.  Disgusting !!!  Further the surviving spouse is destitute and cut off from all financial help and assistance. 

 

This disgusting actions by the bank is the reason why we practitioners need to stand up against the banks.  See the correspondence below.  Contact us for any further enquiries, this is public and in the interest of us the public. 

 

Well done Mrs. Schmid and Javis, and thank you for having the faith in our firm.  This is an example for a future client that we are capable of fighting the disgusting banks. 

 

 

______________________________________________________________________

 

Estate Late WJ Schmid // ABSA Bank appointed by will as Executors

 

ABSA demands payment of the estate fees before they will apply to the Master for a letter of Executorship, failing that they just pend the matter and do nothing further and more importantly not renounce the estate.  Only after the surviving spouse placed her complaint on Hello Peter did ABSA indicate they will investigate. 

 

We shall report to you again on this sorry state of affairs.

Sorry state of our Court’s                          Click HERE to view Photo

 

Client instructed to appear in the Magistrate’s Court for Pretoria North on Thursday.  Our client’s attended court and was told the court’s electricity has not been paid, no electricity and no court.  Told to come back on Monday the 27th of June 2022.  We advised them to go on Friday the 24th of June 2022.  Client phoned court on Friday the 24th of June 2022 to be told there has not been loadshedding at court for 10 years.  Client’s attended court only to find the court closed, no electricity.  See the photos. 

 

How disgusting.  We just hope our citizen’s will now think before they vote and will make the right choice.

PHILLIP CLOETE GREYLING // PHEIN PROJECTS (PTY) LTD

 

Update on the above liquidation.  A liquidator has been appointed and now the assets of Phein Projects (Pty) Ltd needs to be secured.  We also need to tax the money and various court orders obtained against Mr.Herbst, Kenmare Hein Hardeware and so on.  Strange, this is the same matter where Mr. Herbst’s attorney demanded costs against our Mr. Ficq in person but did not represent his client in court to do so.  See for yourself, we shall invite you to caselines.

CASE NO.: 2022/13239

 

IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA

(GAUTENG DIVISION, JOHANNESBURG)

                                                                                               

In the ex-parte application of:

 

DE JAGER: ANDRIES THEODORUS

 

AND

 

DE JAGER: CHANTEL

 

(MARRIED IN COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY)

 

(For the surrender of their estate)

 

VOLUNTARY SURRENDER

 

Another victory to our clients, this judgement confirms the faith we have in our Courts and Judges.  In this application we brought a surrender application with only a benefit of 0.015c/r, that is only one cent in the Rand benefit.

 

Our Judge had the discretion to grant the order and, with sufficient reasons, the application was granted.  Take note that there is no “precedent” that 20c in the rand, or more, is required.  The banks need to take note of the Judge’s discretion.

 

Well done to our client’s, legal team, the office ladies and Adv. Jaco Carstens.

PHILLIP CLOETE GREYLING // PHEIN PROJECTS (PTY) LTD AND 1 OTHER

 

What a success, the provisional liquidation order granted by the Honourable Judge Twala. 

 

The liquidation application was issued in February 2021 and opposed by Mr. Hein Herbst via his attorney, Mr. Johan van Heerden of Pretoria.  The filed and filed long opposing affidavits which contained absolute non legal drivel, so much so that it was difficult to understand.  The result of filing the drivel was that attorneys Johan van Heerden withdrew weeks before the hearing leaving his client, Mr. Hein Herbst in the lurch, so shocking. 

 

Mr. Herbst was left helpless in court by his legal team.  But let it not be us who tell you, see for yourself.  Contact us and we shall invite you on the matter on caselines so you may read for yourself, it is a public document.

 

Well done Team, Adv. Carstens and the office.

WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR 2022

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Now that we left 2021 behind we need to reflect on what may transpire in 2022.  We were protected during the covid years 2020 and 2021, but cannot continue as the economy needs to pick up and the Government cannot sponsor us any longer.  Numerous companies and businesses have just survived by not paying debt such as councils, labour and SARS.  Many of the businesses have closed its doors without taking into consideration debts to SARS and the banks. 

 

This cannot continue and the banks, councils and SARS are taking action.  It is now the time to remove from your portfolio those struggling entities and liquidate them.  You are when you liquidate, protected from SARS but not if you do not liquidate.

 

Rather start a new venture by using the skill you have acquired over the years. 

 

Let us assist you in disposing of your non running entities.

The latest on this important matter:

i)              In terms of the Judgment by the Honourable Judge Dippenaar, receiver and liquidator of divorce estates fees are guarded by Section 84(1)(b) of the Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965, that is if the letter of authority does not deal with the receiver and liquidators fees. That is the matter herein.

ii)             In this matter Mr. Freysen was instructed by the Court to submit his account in terms of Section 84(1)(b) to the Master.

iii)            Mr. Freysen did draw and submit an Administration Account which is attached hereto. Subsequent to the drawing of the Account there is two problems namely:

a)    Mr. Freysen’s Account is excessive to the amount of R710 472-51.

b)    The Master is not willing to assess the account.

c)     It is not apparent from Mr. Freysen’s account if the sale proceeds were invested.

iv)            The following now needs to be done:

d)    Application be made against the Master and Mr. Freysen to compel the Master to assess.

e)    Have Mr. Freysen’s account assessed and request that his fees be waived due to his reluctance to account to the Applicant and as the Honourable Judge remarks “that he was been manifesting remiss in doing so:

f)      Bring an Application to compel Mr. Freysen to invest the client’s funds. We do not understand that Mr. Freysen can refuse to invest client’s funds. What would the reason be to refuse? The court need to decide.
