Tsotetsi NO v Radebe and Another (A 3084/16) [2018] ZAGPJHC 536 (4 September 2018)

Exceptio rei judicatae - a respondent who has been absolved
from the instance cannot raise the exceptio rei judicatae if sued again on the same cause of action.
Lis pendens - Courts are not entitled to raise the issue of lis pendens unless the defendant or respondent pleads it specifically - an order absolving a defendant or respondent from the instance concludes and disposes of the proceedings, if not set aside – such proceedings do not remain pending and lis pendens finds no application.
