05 July 2013 487

In the matter of Peter Taylor & Associates v Bell Estates & another (558/12) [2013] ZASCA 94 (04 July 2013), the SCA today handed down an authoritative judgment in settling two earlier conflicting judgments of High Courts, when it held that for the purposes of interrupting prescription, the court process served under section 15(1) of the Prescription Act must be one whereby the proceedings begun thereunder are instituted as a step in the enforcement of a claim for payment of the debt.
