STION 1: CIVIL PRACTICE
1.1(a) Discuss the type of court proceedings that must be used to institute EBA’s claim.
(4)
EBA should institute a civil action in the High Court since the amount in question
exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Magistrate's Court. The process begins with the
issuance of a combined summons, which includes the particulars of the claim, against
DSA Equipment (Pty) Ltd. The High Court has jurisdiction over matters involving
amounts greater than R400,000.
1.1(b) Assuming that DSA opposes EBA’s claim, discuss whether summary judgment
may be used in the above instance. (4)
Summary judgment can be sought by EBA if DSA opposes the claim without providing a
legitimate defense. According to Rule 32 of the Uniform Rules of Court, summary
judgment is a remedy available to a plaintiff when the defendant has entered an
appearance to defend but does not have a bona fide defense to the claim. The plaintiff
must file an affidavit setting out the facts verifying the cause of action and stating that
the defendant has no bona fide defense and is merely delaying the claim.
1.1(c) Assuming that there is no application for summary judgment, name and discuss
the pleading that must be drafted by EBA in response to DSA’s intention to defend the
matter. (4)
EBA must draft a "Replication" in response to DSA’s plea. A replication is a pleading by
the plaintiff in response to the defendant's plea, addressing any new facts or defenses
raised. The replication must be clear, concise, and address only the issues raised in the
plea without introducing new causes of action.
1.1(d) Draft the pleading referred to in (c) above. (20)
