Mr X arrives at TZ PTY Ltd to purchase paint. He is given an invoice. The total cost of the paint is R25 000. Mr X pays a deposit of R2000 and agrees to pay the balance when the paint is delivered to him later that day. No instalment agreement whatsoever is entered into. The paint is delivered. Mr X informs the driver that he will pay the balance in cash, in person the next day. A week passes by and Mr X simply doesn’t pay. TZ PTY Ltd erroneously believes that this is a case of theft and subsequently goes to the local police station to file criminal charges. The police rightfully inform him, that this is not a case of theft according to the definitional elements of theft and that this is a civil matter and that TZ PTY ltd must approach the courts
