City of Cape Town: Establishment of a regional landfill site
Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr advised the City of Cape Town on a challenge to the authorisation of the establishment of a regional landfill site.
This mandate is important as the City of Cape Town is running out of space in which to dispose of waste and it is critical that a new landfill site be established to ensure that adequate municipal services are supplied.

Ministerial discretion in the allocation of fishing rights

In review proceedings, the Western Cape High Court overturned Creecy’s decision on the basis that it was irrational and lacked transparency. The court, however, concluded that the decision to allocate the fishing rights fell within the ambit of the Executive and remitted it to the Minister (now Dion George) for reconsideration.
