Good news for property owners in South Africa

• Registered property owners in South Africa can enforce eviction orders even if there are allegations of fraud or disputes over the property's sale.
• The High Court ruling is based on the case of Lancelot Properties v Gerretsen and Others, where a registered title was deemed enforceable despite numerous objections from the occupier.
• The ruling is seen as reassuring for landlords who have bought properties through processes like liquidation or sale in execution, as it sets a strong precedent for enforcing eviction orders in similar cases.
