We fund any case in any industry sector which has a potential damages or money outcome. Typically, we look for this outcome to be in excess of R3 million excluding our costs.
We fund cases that are to be heard under well-established rules (AFSA / ICC / LCIA) and to be decided under South African law, or the law of England and Wales. We fund litigation / arbitration regarding:
- Tender irregularities;
- Breach of contract, typically:
- unfulfilled contractual obligations;
- premature and unilateral contract termination;
- unilaterally applied ‘discounts’;
- late payments; and
- unilaterally imposed installment payment.
- Claims arising from liquidation or business rescue proceedings;
- Claims against international trading partners; and
- Claims against banks / insurers and finance providers.
Claims inelligable for funding
We do not fund claims relating to personal injury (including Road Accident Fund claims) divorce, workman’s compensation, defamation or libel.
Well-documented claims against solvent (and preferably reputable) defendants based on settled law will receive close scrutiny and are more likely to be funded.
The majority of our funded cases are for claimants (plaintiffs). However there are situations where we will fund a defendant with a good counterclaim.
