, 1. THE LEGAL NATURE OF PAYMENT:
• Payment has a wide / narrow meaning attached to it:
o S v Harvey 1987 (3) SA 40 (ZS)
▪ In this case it was said that the word ‘payment’ has a wide as well as a narrow
meaning:
• The term ‘payment’ is used in a wider sense to show the performance
or satisfaction of an obligation OR the delivering of what is due.
• In the narrow sense it means something which can be calculated in
money.
o Harrismith Board of Executors v Odendaal 1923 AD 530 at 539
▪ Narrower sense: ‘Payment’ is the delivery of what is owed by a person
competent to deliver to a person competent to receive.
• Sharrock (The Law of Banking and Payment in South Africa, Chapter 6, pg 194-195)
o ‘Payment’ is the rendering of what is owed under a monetary obligation by a person
competent to render it to a person competent to accept it.
• Payment:
o Payment discharges any obligation accessory to it.
o In Roman law, the word ‘solutio’ was used to describe the discharge of an obligation by
a performance.
o Payment is a bilateral juristic act requiring the agreement/ co-operation of at least 2
parties.
▪ Verreins- und Westbank AG v Veren Investments 2002 (4) SA 421 (SCA)
• In this case, the court had to deal with a particular type of negotiable
instrument used in international trade. This negotiable instrument is
known as a documentary letter of credit.
• Facts of the case & question before the SCA:
o In 1991 Nedbank issued a letter of credit for $434 782,61 in
United States currency in favour of a German supplier
o The letter of credit stated that it was available after 360 days
with a German bank, which is the present appellant (‘the
German bank’).
o The South African buyers supplied, and the local bank still held,
the then Rand equivalent of the dollar drawing (R1 119 356,60).
