Nedcor Bank Ltd v The Master of the High Court, Pretoria and Others

The matter concerned an appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal arising from proceedings involving the application of section 152 of the Insolvency Act in circumstances where a close corporation had been placed under a winding-up order. The present text does not set out the substantive factual background, but is limited to an amended order dealing solely with the costs of the appeal.

The appeal was dismissed with costs.

The case is of limited precedential significance on substantive insolvency law, as the reported judgment deals only with the correction of a costs order. It is relevant procedurally in illustrating the Supreme Court of Appeal’s power to amend its own orders where an error has been made per incuriam.
