Justice Madlanga addressed the learners on transformative constitutionalism

Every year, hundreds of high school learners participate in the National Schools Moot Court Competition. The competition, which first began in 2011, is a joint initiative by the Department of Basic Education, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, the South African Human Rights Commission, the Foundation for Human Rights and the University of Pretoria. CDH has been heavily involved in the Competition since 2014, and on 4 October 2017, as part of an intensive few days programme for the national rounds, we hosted 74 learners participating in these rounds at a seminar held at our Sandton offices.

Does the market sometimes not know best? Determining the “fair value” of publicly traded shares when a dissenting shareholder exercises its appraisal rights

In line with international trends, it is now commonplace for South African companies wishing to undertake major corporate actions to have to contend with minority shareholders seeking to exercise their appraisal rights. The so-called appraisal remedy, provided for in section 164 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act), affords a shareholder, in certain circumstances (primarily major corporate actions), the entitlement to demand that the company buy back all shares held by that shareholder in the company for the “ fair value ” thereof. In practice, this remedy is frequently invoked opportunistically by investors seeking to create an arbitrage between the offer price for the shares under a proposed transaction and the “ fair value ” of such shares.
