Assistance with urgent lease dispute

  • Price estimate: R25,000

I am the tenant of a restaurant/franchise business . My commercial lease expired and has been running month-to-month. I have accumulated rental arrears and previously signed Acknowledgements of Debt (AODs) with the landlord. To settle the full debt, I concluded a signed Sale of Business Agreement with a buyer who is ready, willing, and able to take over the premises and sign a new lease with the landlord. The sale proceeds will cover all outstanding arrears in full. The landlord has refused to consent to the lease cession/transfer and instead issued a letter purporting to cancel the lease with immediate effect and demanding I vacate by 30 March which is days away. No court order has been obtained. I need urgent legal assistance with the following: 1. Challenging the validity of the cancellation notice (insufficient notice period under SA common law) 2. Defending against eviction — no court order exists and the landlord cannot self-evict 3. Compelling or persuading the landlord to consent to the lease cession so the sale can proceed and the debt can be settled 4. Filing an urgent High Court interdict to prevent eviction if necessary The matter is extremely urgent: the purported eviction deadline is 30 March .

Good Day, I am looking to get some advice. My partners are looking to "buy" me out of the business I own 25% shares in. They claim I have not contributed what I have agreed to in the business and now are saying I have two options. 1. for them to pay me out R1 and I leave the business. 2. if I am to stay on I need to contribute capital, which they did not disclose an amount. There are 4 partners each owning 25% stake in the business. I have been contributing to the business even more so than my 2 other partners, the partner who sent the email, contributed the capital for the business as an investor. My contribution is to put in the work towards the business and I have been doing so since the business opened in September . I was promised a monthly salary to run the business and they only paid me for one month. Now they are saying I haven’t done what I agreed to and want to push me out of the business. Please find attached Document send to me on Saturday

Urgent High Court legal assistance

  • What are you looking for?: Help with legal documents, Consultation, Representation in court
  • Price estimate: R80,000

Urgent High Court Litigation Assistance Required I am seeking urgent legal representation in a High Court matter currently pending in the Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg. My previous attorneys withdrew as attorneys of record on 10 June and a Summary Judgment Application is pending. The matter involves a dispute between myself, my ex-husband and Luno (Pty) Ltd relating to cryptocurrency assets and account ownership following our divorce. Background My ex-husband has instituted action against me and Luno alleging that cryptocurrency assets were unlawfully transferred to my account. I deny any fraud, theft, misrepresentation, unlawful access or impersonation. My position is that: * The original Luno account was a shared marital account. * Our Settlement Agreement provided that I would retain the shared Luno account upon divorce. * I supplied the Settlement Agreement and Divorce Order to Luno. * Luno conducted its own review process through its Legal and Specialist Teams. * Luno reinstated my account and transferred assets following that review. Why I Require Assistance A Summary Judgment Application has been launched against me. I believe there are substantial disputes of fact which make the matter unsuitable for Summary Judgment, including: * Ownership and control of multiple Luno accounts; * Interpretation of the Settlement Agreement; * Luno’s internal decision-making process; * Account access and duplicate account issues; * The movement and recovery of cryptocurrency assets; * Missing records and discovery issues. Available Documentation I have a comprehensive documentary record available, including: * Settlement Agreement; * Divorce Order; * Combined Summons; * Summary Judgment Application; * Luno correspondence; * Transaction histories; * Login histories; * Account recovery records; * Detailed chronology and evidence analysis. Assistance Required I require an attorney experienced in: * High Court litigation; * Summary Judgment proceedings; * Commercial disputes; * Cryptocurrency / digital asset matters; * Discovery and forensic evidence. The matter is urgent and I would appreciate contact from attorneys willing to review the documentation and advise on representation. Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng Court: Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg Status: Summary Judgment Pending
