QUESTION: Semester 01 Assignment 02
1. Give reasons why the court in Magnum Financial Holdings (Pty) Ltd (in Liquidation) v
Summerly and another 1984 (1) SA 160 (W) was satisfied that the applicants had made
out a case for the relief sought (the urgent grant of a provisional sequestration order).
There had been sufficient service of the papers on the trustee of the trust. (Note that this was not a trustee
in terms of the Insolvency Law, because the estate of the trust had not yet been sequestrated. Instead, the
trustee was the trustee in terms of the law of trusts, who administered the trust property for the benefit of
the trust beneficiaries.) The one provisional liquidator of the applicant company had locus standi to apply for
the provisional sequestration of the trust estate. The applicant company had a claim against the trust for
about R1,6 million which was due and payable. An act of insolvency in terms of section 8(g) of the
Insolvency Act, 1936 had been committed, and the trust estate was also insolvent. It was to the advantage
of the trust’s creditors that its estate be sequestrated urgently. Further, the necessary security bond had
been duly lodged and also annexed to the court papers
2. Identify the problem faced by the court in Magnum Financial Holdings.
The only problem before the court was whether a trust could, at law, be sequestrated
