PART FIVE (FINAL)
In a final effort to halt the unlawful construction of the fuel station in a wetland, which I suspect may have led to Pieter's murder, I file for an urgent interdict to stop the construction. However, unfortunately, the judge is not very sympathetic to our cause, and we lose the case based on urgency, not on its merits.
Following this, the directors of the petroleum company proceeded to take legal action against me, again, aiming to enforce the previous Claassen cost order. Instead of serving the cost order to provide an opportunity for payment or opposition, they directly pursued an attachment order to seize my house. However, due to poor legal counsel from their attorneys at Schindlers, they ultimately lost the case, and I emerged victorious.
Following the standard rule where the losing party is required to cover the legal costs of the winning party, Schindlers refused to comply with the R 350,000 cost order. Instead, they sent a letter to my attorney, proposing that if I agree to sign a gag order, committing to never discuss the corruption surrounding the petrol station again, they would agree to cover the costs.
Is it just me, or is there a pattern emerging here?
As before, I refuse.
This is our current situation: I need to cover a legal bill of R 350,000, and now the responsibility is squarely on my shoulders – quite literally.
The next step is to institute litigation against BP for fraud and corruption.
NB : This fuel station started it’s life as a Sasol petrol station. However, when faced with all the corruption, fraud and malfeasance, they pulled out. Undeterred by such frivolous issues as corruption, fraud and bribery, BP stepped in and took over.
The Directors of Petro Props (Pty) Ltd are : Mr Henry Ford (deceased), Dr Andre du Plessis (deceased), Mr Hilary Basil Bentel (current) and Jonathan Aaron Bentel (current)
There ends this stage of the saga until Part Six when I serve BP next month.
