IRREPARABLE HARM

- ZELDA VENTER

A FATHER received a temporary lifeline during an urgent application when the court stopped his R300 000 car from being auctioned off over R21 000 outstanding maintenance debt.

The man told the Limpopo High Court, sitting in Thohoyandou, that he is disputing that the child for which he has to pay maintenance, is in fact his.

He reasoned that if his car is auctioned off to foot the bill for the outstanding maintenance towards a child which is not even his, he will suffer irreparable harm.

The man and his wife are embroiled in divorce proceedings and the husband was ordered by a court to pay interim maintenance. As the husband is disputing his paternity to the child he stopped paying the interim maintenance as per the court order.
