THE QUESTION PAPER:
QUESTION 1: CIVIL PRACTICE [50]
1.1 Darren Smith is the director and shareholder of DSA Equipment (Pty) Ltd
(“DSA”) and the company manufactures medica electronic equipment. Mr.
Smith approached EBA (Pty) Ltd (“EBA”), the local supplier of the
components needed for the manufacturing of the electronic equipment by
DSA, and the parties entered into a written agreement for the supply and
delivery of the components on 30-day credit terms. The goods are delivered
by EBA to DSA’s premises and a copy of the invoice to the value of R1,5
million is handed to Mr. Smith who was present to receive them. Despite
numerous calls followed by a formal letter of demand addressed to DSA for
payment of the outstanding amount following the expiry of the 30-day period,
EBA does not receive any formal response from DSA and/or Mr. Smith. EBA
(Pty) Ltd now wants to institute legal proceedings to recover the outstanding
amount. EBA’s director approaches you for legal advice or assistance
regarding the proceedings that can be instituted for the recovery of the
outstanding amount from DSA.

disputes between the parties. EBA now requests your advice about a suitable

proceedings. Discuss briefly whether arbitration or negotiation is the most
suitable ADR mechanism having regard to the given facts and
