CASE NO: 2024/096858

1. Reportable

2. Of interest to other judges:

3. Revised:

10 September 2024

 

In the matter between:

 

ROSANN MAUREEN TANKARD	Applicant
and
OLD MUTUAL WEALTH	Respondent

JUDGMENT

 

WRIGHT J

 

1.  The alleged applicant lost her husband ten years ago, allegedly.

 

2.  She was allegedly appointed executrix in his deceased estate about three months ago.

 

3.  The applicant seeks urgently orders that the respondent disclose to her details of all policies held by her husband and she seeks payment of the proceeds.

 

4.  She says, vaguely, that she needs the money otherwise she will be homeless.

 

5.  No detail of her financial position is set out or her alleged inability to get other accommodation.

 

6.  The answering affidavit raises a number of defences, including a defence that the wrong respondent has been cited, which I need not deal with as urgency is not proved.

 

ORDER

 

Struck off, costs reserved. -
