JUDGMENT
GOLDBLATT J:
The applicants in this matter seek a declaratory order in terms of section 19(1)(a)(3) of the Supreme Court Act no 59 of 1959 as to when service by a sheriff in terms of Rule of Court 46(3) is to be construed as efficacious service and does not expose either the sheriff or the judgment creditor to a future possibility of an action for damages for want of compliance therewith. As will appear hereunder the problems in relation to the aforesaid Rule of Court have been occasioned by conflicting decisions in this court.

THANK YOU SHERIFFS!!!
A number of sheriffs have unselfishly shared their generosity
and opened their hearts to the needy and destitute.
Without their help we certainly would not have managed to
accumulate the amazing amount of R54 700, 00.
