The general rule in statutory interpretation is that legislation does not apply retrospectively unless expressly stated or implied by necessity. However, Parliament has the authority to enact laws that apply to past events. This principle is frequently tested in court, particularly in cases concerning contracts and security instruments created before the enactment of new laws.

Ignore sequestration proceedings at your peril

Parties who agree to be personally liable for a debt, for example by way of signing a suretyship or a guarantee, should take heed of the potentially dire consequences for them if they choose to ignore subsequent sequestration proceedings against them. In the recent case of Eamon Courtney v Izak Johannes Boshoff NO and Others (483/2023) ZASCA 104, the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) dealt with the consequences facing a party should it not defend sequestration proceedings, despite such proceedings being procedurally flawed.

Understanding wealth tax: Viability and implications in South Africa

“ Eat the rich ” might sound like a radical slogan, but its origins are more philosophical than we may think. The phrase is often attributed to the 18th-century French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who famously wrote, “ Quand les pauvres n’auront plus rien à manger, ils mangeront les riches! ” (“ When the poor have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich! ”) While Rousseau’s words were metaphorical, they underscore a timeless truth, that extreme inequality can lead to social unrest. The concept of a wealth tax has been a recurring topic in South Africa’s tax policy discussions, particularly in light of the country’s growing budget deficit and wealth disparities. As policymakers explore potential revenue sources, the feasibility and implications of a wealth tax remain a subject of debate.
