Questions:
Pollex received two totally different and unrelated questions from two different and unrelated readers.
Question 1 from Reader no 1:
Reader no 1 refers Pollex to the Cape Town High Court judgment in the matter of S v Jantjies Case No CC 42/20, High Court, Cape Town dated 6 October 2022 (WCC). The procedure followed in this Jantjies case is rather unconventional, meaning that such procedure is not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed. See paragraph [44] of the High Court judgment.
Accordingly, Reader no 1 wants Pollex’s opinion about it. Pollex’s very brief answer is that it is “GOOD”.
Question 2 from Reader no 2:
Question 2 is about a “deceased estate” (Afrikaans: “bestorwe boedel”). According to Reader no 2, her erstwhile husband from whom she was divorced, passed away on 3 August 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, their 16-year-old Grade 10 biological child (hereinafter referred to as “the boy child”), was the SOLE HEIR (Afrikaans: “enigste erfgenaam”) of ALL the assets (Afrikaans: “bates/nalatenskap”) in the deceased’s will (Afrikaans: “testament”), which consisted of 19 German motor vehicles, cash and numerous tools and motor spare parts in the motor vehicle workshop, run by the deceased and which were rather valuable. This information supra, Reader no 2 (hereinafter referred to as “the boy child’s mother”) only received nearly six months after the deceased’s death. In due course, the boy child’s mother smelled a rat*.
