- English abstract
- This article investigates the duty of care, skill and diligence as it applies to the South African business rescue practitioner (“BRP”). It examines the principles that underpin the test for negligence and their applicability to the BRP. The South African Companies Act states that the BRP owes the same duties as a director of a company. The question analysed is whether the applicability of the duty of care owed by directors can easily be transferred to BRPs. The authors follow a law-in-context methodology in an attempt to highlight the gaps between the legislative provisions and their true practical implications.
