Thesis (M. Law. (Development and Management)) --University of Limpopo, 2016 / One of the fundamental objectives of the new Companies Act 71 of 2008 is to provide for
efficient rescue of financially distressed companies. It is almost four years since the Act
introduced the regime of business rescue, therefor details about its success or lack
thereof must be examined so as to consider its viability in South Africa. With a very higher
degree of certainty, the regime has so far shown some inherent shortcomings embodied
in its application. Business rescue has had implications on corporate governance and
taxation in South Africa. Against this new corporate scene, mini-dissertation analyses the
most controversial aspects and the most telling implications of the business rescue
regime since its inception in South African company law. Furthermore, this minidissertation
analyses the call for further modification of the business rescue regime. Most
importantly it spells out several recommendations which if considered pragmatically will
constructively contribute to the viability of the business rescue regime in South Africa. It
finds that the business rescue regime in South Africa is almost likely to be viable.
KEY WORDS: business rescue, financially distressed and affected persons.
