CIPC: Progress update on objectives outlined in the media release published on 6 August 2022 logo

On 10 August 2022, the CIPC published a Media Release titled “COMPLIANCE NOTICE ISSUED TO NOVA PROPGROW GROUP HOLDINGS LTD”, with a subheading “Inter-Regulator Investigation Following Failure to Satisfy the Commission from a Notice to Show Cause Regarding Reckless Trading or Trading Under Insolvent Circumstances”.

The Commission’s mandate, though the inter-regulator investigation covered other pieces of legislation that regulated various parts of the Property Syndication Industry, remains confined to the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (as amended) (“the Act”).

One of the major activities stated in the publication was to embark on an inter-regulator investigation, the purpose of which would be the realisation of a legally accurate and equitable outcome for investors, the companies and directors.

The publication stated other various activities that would ensue to achieve certain itemised objectives, an update of which is included under each item in this media release.

A date suitable for all affected parties, regulators and interested parties (limited to organs of State) is yet to be set.
