Kessoopersadh v Essop

In Keesoopersandh v Essop (1970), an important case in the South African law of lease, the relationship which arises between the lessee and the purchaser, who are bound by the rule huur gaat voor koop, is such that such purchaser cannot be regarded as a third party as contemplated by section 2 of the General Law Amendment Act of 1956. The scope of the rule huur gaat voor koop and the proviso to section 2 of the GLAA were fully discussed, and the decision in the Natal Provincial Division reversed.
