    Standard Bank of  South Africa Limited v Lamont (Summary Judgement)

    Importance of the Case: Standard Bank of South Africa Limited v Lamont The case of Standard Bank of South Africa Limited v Lamont (17022/2018) [2022] ZAGPJHC 3; 2022 (3) SA 537 (GJ)   is significant in South African civil law, particularly regarding summary judgment procedures. Here’s a detailed        explanation of its importance: Background of the Case In this case, Standard Bank sought summary judgment against Clint John Lamont for the payment of a capital          amount of R601,152.71, along with interest. The cause of action was an alleged breach of a home loan agreement.  Additionally, the bank sought an order declaring certain immovable property executable, which was the primary      residence of the respondent and his family, including three children.

Compliance with Procedural Requirements: The court emphasized the importance of complying with procedural requirements when seeking summary                  judgment. The application was found deficient as it failed to comply with Rule 46A(4)(ii), which mandates specific  procedural steps to be followed.…
