Article 43/2022

What are the grounds for the setting aside a writ of execution?

_____________________________________

A writ of execution must be strictly in compliance with the wording of the order from which the judgment debt arises.  If a judgment debtor disputes liability for the amounts reflected in the writ on the grounds that it has paid the amounts, or part of them, or because it contends that it is not liable for them on the ground that they were not within the scope of the judgment, it may apply to court for relief (Butchard v Butchard 1996 (2) SA 581 (W), at 587).
