Please be advised that it is our duty as Provisional Trustees to secure the assets of Beach and not to comment on the trust’s affairs. Having said that, the Provisional Trustees will submit a preliminary creditors report if the order is made final on 25 October 2016.

The provisional order of sequestration was made final on 25 October 2016. The Master of the High Court will now convene by notice in the Gazette, a first meeting of the creditors of the estate for the proof of their claims against the estate. The Master shall publish such notice on a date not less than ten days before the date upon which the meeting is to be held and shall in such notice state the time and place at which the meeting is to be held. The Provisional Trustees will also make the notice available on this website.

The first meeting of creditors will take place at Bellville Magistrates Court on 2 December  2016  at 11:00.

When, where and how do I prove my claim ?

The first meeting of creditors was successfully held and closed on 2 December 2016. The Trustees shall now proceed to examine the claim that was proven at the first meeting of creditors. The Trustees shall, within three months, convene the second meeting of creditors.  The purpose of the meeting is to prove additional claims against the estate, adopt resolutions and to table a formal creditors and contributories report. The time, date and place of the second meeting of creditors and the formal creditors and contributories report will also be made available on this website.

The statutory second meeting of creditors will be held on 24 February 2017 before The Magistrate, Bellville, at 11h00.

The second meeting of creditors was successfully held and closed. The Trustees will now proceed in accordance with the Trustees section 81 report and creditors directions. The only asset in the estate, as per the section 81 report, will be auctioned on 28 March 2017. The first liquidation and distribution account will be submitted by 12 July 2017.

The Master of the High Court has granted the Trustees a six-month extension of time to file the liquidation and distribution account due to the transfer of the property taking longer than expected.
