In the Northern Cape High Court, Phatshoane DJP confirmed the receiver’s award regarding the accrual in the applicant’s and respondent’s estates, dismissing the respondent’s opposition and counter-application to vary the divorce decree under Rule 42(1)(b) and (c). The court upheld the deed of settlement, which included a non-variation clause, finding it lawful and enforceable, particularly as it was voluntarily agreed upon and aimed to address abuse of the trust form by a trustee. The respondent’s objections were found meritless, and the receiver’s final award was made an order of the court.
