When a contracting party shifts from explaining delays to avoiding written communication altogether, the dispute has usually moved beyond what correspondence alone can resolve. Persistent missed deadlines with no remedy offered, partial delivery on material contract terms, or counter-claims that appear the moment you push for performance are all red flags. Under South African contract law, delays, defective performance, or a refusal to perform are treated differently, and each has its own legal remedy. The key is identifying which situation applies before taking action. CBJ Attorneys assesses the pattern of conduct, identifies the breach type, and advises on the next steps to take.

21/05/2026

When a creditor issues a statutory demand under the Companies Act and the debtor fails to pay, secure, or contest the debt within 21 days, the company is deemed unable to pay its debts. And that opens the door to a liquidation application. This is a legitimate and frequently effective pressure mechanism that shifts the conversation entirely, because the consequences of liquidation for a debtor’s directors, operations, and reputation are severe enough to produce payment in many cases. The key is that the demand must be correctly drafted, properly served, and the 21-day period must run cleanly. Procedural errors can invalidate the entire process and give the debtor an exit. CBJ Attorneys drafts and serves statutory demands correctly from day one so the 21-day clock works in your favour.

Late payments affect over 90% of South African SMEs, and the financial damage goes well beyond the outstanding amount itself. Businesses covering the gap between what’s owed and what’s available often end up drawing on expensive overdraft facilities to cover fixed costs like wages and rent. Payment delays compound month on month as winter slows economic activity further. Acting before these seasonal pressures peak means recovering funds while debtors still have liquidity.

CBJ Attorneys structures recovery timelines around your cash flow needs, not just the legal process. Talk to our attorneys: https://tinyurl.com/22ybt3wd

You’ve signed the offer to purchase, the bond is approved, and both parties are ready. Then the municipality takes months to issue a rates clearance certificate that should legally arrive within 15 working days. This single document, required under the Municipal Systems Act and the Property Rates Act, must confirm that all outstanding rates are settled before the Deeds Office can register the transfer. And if the certificate expires after 60 days without registration, the figures lapse, and the seller has to start the payment process again. In 2026, backlogs and understaffing across South African municipalities mean these delays are the rule, not the exception. CBJ Attorneys tracks your clearance application from submission to receipt, and escalates the moment the timeline starts slipping.
