When legal disputes arise, you need a litigation lawyer who is experienced, strategic, and dedicated to protecting your interests. Tracy Sischy Attorneys specialises in civil litigation and debt recovery, offering professional legal representation to individuals, businesses, landlords, and tenants across South Africa.

Since 2003, our boutique law firm in Randburg has earned a reputation for excellence in dispute resolution and courtroom advocacy. Whether you’re recovering unpaid debts, enforcing a lease, or seeking relief from a judgment, our experienced litigation lawyers will guide you through the process with skill and determination.

Civil Litigation and Debt Recovery

As an established litigation lawyer, Tracy Sischy Attorneys assists clients with all aspects of civil litigation, from issuing summonses to obtaining judgments and enforcing court orders. We handle disputes arising from:

• Loan agreements
• Credit agreements
• Goods sold and delivered
• Services rendered
• Car accidents and damages
• Claims for undue enrichment

Our goal is to achieve swift, cost-effective resolutions while protecting your rights and financial interests.

Debt Recovery Prescription

One of the most critical aspects of debt recovery is the prescription period. Under South African law, most debts prescribe after three years, meaning you lose the right to enforce payment if you haven’t taken legal action within that period.

To prevent prescription, our litigation lawyers ensure that a summons is issued and properly served on the debtor before the three-year period expires. Acting promptly is essential; delay could result in the permanent loss of your claim.

Legal Action and Relevant Courts

When a debtor remains in breach despite demand, our litigation lawyers will assist you in instituting the necessary legal proceedings. We have the experience and authority to represent clients in:

• The Magistrates’ Court (for claims up to R200,000)
• The Regional Court (for claims up to R400,000)
• The High Court (for claims exceeding R400,000 or involving complex matters)

Our firm ensures that your case is filed in the correct court with all required documentation, reducing delays and maximising your chances of success.

Blacklisting and Credit Bureau Assistance

Our litigation lawyers assist creditors with blacklisting bad payers through the relevant South African Credit Bureaus at a nominal fee. This process acts as a strong deterrent against future defaults and helps ensure that your debtor takes their financial obligations seriously.

We also assist debtors in removing blacklisting records once payment arrangements have been made, helping them restore their credit status responsibly.

Undefended Judgments

In cases where a debtor fails to oppose your claim, we offer set package rates for obtaining judgment in undefended matters. Our litigation lawyers handle all necessary paperwork, court filings, and follow-ups to ensure a swift, cost-effective judgment against the debtor.

Rescission of Judgments

If a judgment has been wrongfully or unfairly granted against you, our litigation lawyers can assist with a rescission application, whether opposed or unopposed. We will assess your case, draft the necessary affidavits, and represent you in court to have the judgment set aside, protecting your financial reputation and legal standing.

Landlord and Tenant Litigation

We are not only skilled litigation lawyers but also specialists in landlord-tenant law, including leases, rental disputes, and evictions.

We understand the complexities of both commercial and residential leasing relationships, and we represent both landlords and tenants with fairness and professionalism.

Leases and Evictions

South African law requires landlords to obtain a court eviction order before removing a tenant. As your dedicated litigation lawyer, we ensure that every legal requirement is properly followed to protect you from future legal challenges.

Our expertise includes:

• Evictions of unlawful or non-paying tenants
• Drafting and reviewing lease agreements
• Enforcing payment of arrear rentals
• Negotiating settlements between landlords and tenants
• Representing both landlords and tenants in eviction and rental disputes

The Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act) regulates residential evictions and ensures that both property owners and tenants are treated lawfully and fairly.

Credit Checks on Prospective Tenants

Before signing any lease, it’s essential to conduct a credit check on prospective tenants. Our litigation lawyers assist landlords in conducting background checks to identify judgments, defaults, and other financial red flags, helping prevent costly disputes down the line.

Drafting and Reviewing Lease Agreements

A properly drafted lease agreement is crucial for both landlords and tenants. Our litigation lawyers ensure that your residential or commercial lease is clear, legally compliant, and protects your rights.

We strongly recommend that tenants not sign any agreement without having it reviewed by a qualified litigation lawyer familiar with landlord-tenant law.

Evictions of Non-Paying or Unlawful Tenants

The PIE Act governs most residential evictions in South Africa. Even if a tenant is not paying rent, the landlord cannot simply lock them out or remove them without a court order.

Our litigation lawyers will help you:

• Serve the correct notice of breach to the tenant.
• Cancel the lease legally after the notice period expires.
• Institute eviction proceedings in the appropriate court.

We ensure every step complies with the law to secure a valid and enforceable eviction order.

Instituting Legal Action for Outstanding Rental Amounts

When tenants fall behind on rent, our litigation lawyers take swift action to recover outstanding payments. We can issue a letter of demand, negotiate a payment plan, or pursue legal action to recover rental arrears.

With extensive experience in debt recovery and litigation, we provide practical solutions that protect your property and financial interests.

Representation for Both Landlords and Tenants

Our firm represents both sides of the rental relationship. Whether you’re a landlord enforcing payment or a tenant facing an unfair eviction, our litigation lawyers will ensure your case is presented effectively and fairly in court.
