QUESTION 1: CIVIL PRACTICE
1.1
(a) Type of Summons Olive Woods Will Use to Recover the Outstanding Amount
In this case, Olive Woods will likely use a simple summons to recover the outstanding
amount of R180,000. A simple summons is used in matters where the claim is for a
liquidated amount (a specific amount of money) and is typically employed in civil actions
concerning debts owed. The advantage of a simple summons is that it initiates
proceedings in a straightforward manner and allows the plaintiff to claim the specific
amount due without the need for extensive pleadings. The process is less formal and
faster than a complex summons, making it suitable for straightforward debt recovery
cases like this one.
