Thanks for the detailed document Tobias. I also support the
use of a Section 21 Company over a VA.
Kind regards,
Lourie

Hi everyone
Tobias
Schonwetter, as mentioned in an email last week, has put together a
really helpful document about what type of legal vehicle should be used
for the proposed SA Chapter. This document, which I've attached here,
outlines the considerations taken in drafting this opinion. Tobias
(with the support of Chetty Law) suggest that we go with a Section 21
company.
Thank you so much to Tobias for this document; it is really helpful and outlines very
clearly the issues for everyone. Please
note that Tobias alludes to the 'financial services sector' in the
document, as within the discussion during the kickoff workshop, it was
mentioned by myself and Achal that we had had an indication of initial
interest from this sector about the Chapter.
Please can we all consider the attached document. I would like to suggest that its open
for discussion and debate until Thursday, 2nd September, following which a final decision
will be taken about the legal vehicle.
So if you have concerns or opinions, please voice them between now and Thurs.
Regards
Kerryn
