Payment on demand? A consideration of on demand guarantees

It is common for a performance guarantee from a financial institution to be provided by a contractor to its employer in a construction project. It is also common for such guarantees to be formulated as an “ on demand ” guarantee. This is akin to a letter of credit and, provided the terms and requirements set out in the guarantee are complied with, the employer can call up the guarantee notwithstanding any contractual dispute that there may be in the underlying contract between the employer and the contractor (this is different to a guarantee that is not on demand where the contractor can resist payment on the basis that there is an unresolved dispute pending between the contractor and the employer).

The decriminalisation of cannabis use and/or possession for minors: A significant shift in South African drug law reform

In 2019, the Constitutional Court in Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and Others v Prince and Others (1) SA 14 (CC), partially confirmed the judgment in Prince v Minister of Justice and Others (4) SA 299 (WCC), which declared provisions of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of 1992 (Drugs Act) and the Medicines and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965 unconstitutional.
