What's different about a Letter of Intent in South Africa
The same pacta sunt servanda approach from Beadica applies to an LOI's binding and non-binding provisions, and South African practice conventionally includes a domicilium citandi et executandi clause, an address nominated for formal legal notices and service, which DealDocs includes as part of the local drafting convention.
