, QUESTION 1
X has a claim against Z in the amount of R600 000 based on breach of contract
which occurred in Cape Town. X is an incola of Cape Town and Z is an incola
of Pretoria. With these facts in mind, answer the following questions. Give full
reasons for your answers.
(a) Why it will be inappropriate for X to use an ordinary application to institute
proceedings against Z:
An ordinary application cannot be used by X to institute proceedings against Z
because the common applications are appropriate for non-contentious matters that
are not highly litigious and can be resolved based only on affidavit materials. Where
the claim is breach of an express contract for R600,000, the action is bound to entail
factual issues that must be proved orally under oath, with cross-examination and an
invasive analysis of facts that is not appropriate in an action proceeding. Action
proceedings entitle a party to lead evidence and are consequently more suitable in
such circumstances.1

(b) Why X can institute proceedings against Z in the Cape Town High Court


X can institute proceedings against Z in the cape town high court as X is an incola of
Cape town and the breach of contract happened in Cape town. Under the principle of
jurisdiction, the High Court of the place where the cause of action occurred which in
this case is Cape Town or the place where plaintiff resides has jurisdiction in the
matter. Hence, the Cape Town High Court has the jurisdiction to hear the dispute that
has arisen between the two parties.2

(c) Would the answer to (b) differ if Z was a foreign peregrinus of the Republic


Yes, the answer would differ if Z was a foreign peregrinus (a non resident foreigner)
of the Republic. However, the Cape Town High Court will still be within jurisdiction to
entertain the matter because the cause of action occurred in Cape Town, X will need
to assure that Z is amenable to jurisdiction of the court.This is typically done by
attaching Z's property within the court's jurisdiction (an arrest ad fundandam et
