OPPOSING AFFIDAVIT

_____________________________________________________________________________


I, the undersigned,

JIM SWIFT

herewith make oath and declare as follows:


1.

I am the Defendant in the above matter and the facts contained herein fall within my personal knowledge and are true and correct.


2.

I have read the affidavit by the Defendant and wish to reply thereto as follows:


2.1 POINT IN LIMING

I am advised by my legal representative that the Plaintiff's claim is for an unliquidated amount for damages allegedly suffered and does not fall within the scope of application of the Summary Judgment remedy. Argument on this issue will be advanced at the hearing of the application for Summary Judgment.


2.2 AD DEFENCE
I confirm that I indeed have a bona fide defence to Plaintiff's claim and that I have not entered an appearance to defend merely for purposes of delay.
2.2.1 The nature and grounds of my defence are that I deny that I was negligent and thus I also deny that I caused the plaintiff’s damages. My defence is that the negligent conduct of the plaintiff was the sole cause of the accident because she failed to keep a proper look-out in the wet and unpleasant weather circumstances on the appropriate day and also drove at an unreasonably high speed.
2.3 AD COUNTERCLAIM
As a result of plaintiff's negligence as aforesaid I have a bona fide counterclaim for
R10 000,00, being the fair, reasonable and necessary costs of repairing my vehicle to its pre-collision condition.

NOTICE OF APPEAL

______________________________________________________________________________


Kindly take notice that Plaintiff herewith notes an appeal to the Transvaal Provincial Division of the High Court against the whole of the judgment delivered by the Honourable Magistrate Z on _____________________in the above matter.
Further take notice that the appeal is based upon the following legal and factual grounds:
1. The honourable magistrate has erred by finding that the plaintiff did not prove his case, for the following reasons:


  1. The honourable court failed to give sufficient weight to the evidence of Mr Frik Vos who testified that shortly before the accident with plaintiff, the defendant overtook his vehicle at an excessive speed and sped on.

  2. The honourable court failed to make a finding that Mr James Carey, who was allegedly an eyewitness of the accident between the cars of plaintiff and defendant, was not a credible witness due to the following material contradictions in his testimony:

    1. He initially testified that the accident occurred at 13:00 on 1 March 2006 when he was on his way to buy lunch. During cross-examination he however testified that it occurred at 09:00 on 1 March 2006 when he was on his way to work.

    2. He initially testified that defendant drove a blue Nissan Hardbody. During cross-examination he testified that defendant drove a red Nissan Hardbody.

    3. He initially testified that plaintiff drove at a high speed and could not stop to prevent the accident. During cross-examination he however testified that she did not concentrate on the road as she was talking over a cell phone and thus could not stop timeously to prevent an accident.
