(a) Discuss the type of summons that Olive Woods will use to recover the outstanding
amount (4)
In this case, Olive Woods is seeking to recover a liquidated amount of R180,000 owed by Ms.
Bright Lesedi for furniture material. A simple summons would be the most appropriate
summons to initiate proceedings in this situation.
A simple summons is used where the plaintiff's claim is for a debt or liquidated demand,
meaning that the amount of the claim is a fixed, certain sum of money. This type of summons
includes a concise statement of the nature of the claim and the relief sought but does not go into
detail regarding the cause of action. It allows the defendant to either admit or deny liability by
delivering a notice of intention to defend. In this case, Olive Woods’ claim is based on the unpaid
invoice for the furniture material, which is a specific, fixed amount of money.
