Director B opposed this application, and, alleging that A had resigned his directorship, instructed the web hosting entity hosting the company\u2019s server and email addresses to cut off A\u2019s \u2018email and company network\/server access\u2019 with immediate effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A, denying hotly that he had resigned, immediately applied to court for a \u201cspoliation order\u201d restoring his email and server access to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spoliation \u2013 a quick and effective way to get back possession, but only if\u2026<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The spoliation process is designed to stop disputing parties from taking the law into their own hands and provides a quick and effective way of regaining possession of something if you have been wrongfully deprived of it. It\u2019s a quick and effective remedy because \u201c[T]he injustice of the possession of the person despoiled is irrelevant as he is entitled to a spoliation order even if he is a thief or a robber. The fundamental principle of the remedy is that no one is allowed to take the law into his own hands\u201d. In other words, you can get an immediate spoliation order without having to prove your right to possession of the thing \u2013 all you have to prove is the wrongful dispossession.<\/li><li>So that would have been an ideal outcome for A, giving him immediate restoration of his access to his emails rather than having to fight his way slowly through a full trial proving his rights to email and server access. But it was not to be. His problem was that, in order get a spoliation order, one of the first things you must prove is that you were in \u201cpeaceful and undisturbed possession\u201d of something.<\/li><li>Now A would have been able to prove such possession if he had for example been wrongfully deprived of use of a company car or even of an \u201cincorporeal\u201d right to use property (such as \u201cquasi-possession\u201d of a right of access under a servitude). But he was unable to convince the Court that his email\/server access fell into any such category.<\/li><li>As the Court put it: \u201cThus only rights to use property, or incidents of occupation, will warrant a spoliation order.\u201d A\u2019s prior use of the email address and server was not an \u201cincident of possession of movable or immovable property\u201d, it is purely \u201ca personal right enforceable, if at all, against [the company].&#8221;<\/li><li>In a nutshell, A must now prove his legal right to email and server access \u2013 perhaps he will be advised to apply for an ordinary interdict, perhaps he will sue for damages and\/or re-instatement, but whichever course he chooses he will need to accept the inevitable delays. In other words, if B\u2019s tactic was to put immediate and substantial pressure on A in the short term it worked \u2013 at least for now.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t however take any action like this without professional advice \u2013 it could come back to bite you badly if it misfires.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>&nbsp;The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
