Facts of the Case

Background

The parties were divorced with a consent order requiring a property in South Africa to be sold by 31 December 2017, with proceeds accruing to the applicant. The property was not sold, and the applicant sought revival of the judgment to enforce the alternative payment clause. The respondent opposed, arguing the order could not be revived as it did not specify a monetary amount and had been varied by consent.
