Cape Town family ordered to leave luxury home after withholding R1.4 million rent over maintenance issues
The Western Cape High Court has ordered a family to leave a Camps Bay property after finding that the lease was validly cancelled following a dispute over alleged maintenance problems and more than R1.4m in unpaid rent.
Several former clients of suspended Cape Town attorney Celeste Julius have lodged complaints with the Legal Practice Council (LPC) and the RAF Fidelity Fund, alleging that their Road Accident Fund (RAF) and medical negligence payouts were mismanaged or withheld. The former clients claim that Julius, the director of CJ Julius Inc., improperly deducted, retained, or loaned money from the settlements, resulting in millions being missing from the payouts.
Despite welcoming the attorney's suspension in August last year due to concerns over the administration of trust money and RAF settlement proceeds, the former clients remain concerned about recovering their money and addressing outstanding debts linked to their settlements.
