 Owners of rental properties will be pleased to take note of the hard-hitting comments made by a judge of the South Gauteng High Court in a recent matter involving an application for the eviction of illegal tenants from a building in Johannesburg. In his judgment, Willis J mentioned obiter that there is effectively only one legal remedy for the unlawful occupation of immovable property, namely an eviction order. |

 As long ago as 1964 the Supreme Court of Appeal laid down a principle which has consistently been applied in our law of contract. The so-called Shifren principle provides that a contractual non-variation clause is valid and effectively entrenches both itself and all other terms of the contract against an oral variation thereof. Simply put, where such a non-variation clause appears in a contract, no variation or amendment thereof will be valid or binding between the parties unless they have reduced such variation or amendment to writing. In most instances, non-variation clauses also require that the variation/amendment so reduced to writing must be signed by both parties and/or their representatives. |
