QUESTION 1
Yes, Mr Mboweni’s Evergreen Printing can use the rei vindicatio to reclaim the printing
machine and compressor from Mr Viljoen, provided it meets all the legal requirements. The
rei vindicatio is a legal remedy available to the owner of a thing to recover it from anyone
who is unlawfully controlling it, even if that person is in good faith or paid for it.1
To succeed in court, Evergreen must prove three key things:
1. That it is the owner of the printing machine and compressor;
2. That these are existing and identifiable movable things; and
3. That USS Graphics, or Mr Viljoen, was in physical control of them when the action
was instituted.1
