A woman has lost the battle to represent her parents in a High Court bid to set aside a bank’s repossession of their property after they defaulted on the loan.

One family's global battle over millions in inheritance, involving long-lost son, happening in Cape Town

Standard Bank opposed Akers’s application on the three grounds. Firstly, they said Akers had failed to show her direct and substantial interest in the dispute. Finally they argued that Akers could not rely on the provisions of the Older Person’s Act, OPA, as it only applied to organs of State who render services to older persons.

He also said that while at the age of 66 Carelse fit the definition of an older person as defined in the OPA, there was no evidence to suggest that he is a frail older person, who is defined as one who needed 24-hour care due to a physical or mental condition which rendered him incapable of caring for himself.
