A challenge to rape laws met with Ministerial disdain

The Minister of Police’s report on crime statistics over the period 1 October to 31 December 2022 indicates that an alarming total of 15,545 sexual assaults were reported. Of these assaults, 5,935 were rape incidents that took place at the residence of the perpetrator or victim. The raging scourge of sexual violence in our country demands that, at the very least, the laws intended to offer protection in the context of sexual violence are reflective of the lived realities of those affected, and are constitutionally sound. It is against this backdrop that in November 2022 the Embrace Project launched its application seeking that various sections of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Act 23 of 2007 (Act) – including section 3, which defines rape – be declared unconstitutional.

Increasing climate change litigation risks: A focus on the private sector

In the recently published Global Climate Litigation Report: 2023 (Report), the United Nations Environment Programme provides valuable insight into the emerging trends surrounding climate change litigation. The importance of the increasing prevalence of these cases is well-highlighted in the Report, which references a “ body of legal precedent ” that is “ forming an increasingly well-defined field of law ”. The facts, arguments and findings surrounding the cases will therefore collectively serve as a reference point for local litigants seeking judicial intervention in matters involving climate policy, law or science.

Bargaining council collective agreements and retirement funds

Bargaining councils have extensive powers under the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (the LRA). Once such power being that a bargaining council is entitled to establish and administer pension, provident, medical aid, sick pay, funds, or any similar schemes or funds for the benefit of one or more of the parties to the bargaining council or their members.

A sensible outcome: SARS’ ruling regarding special trusts

While the provisions in the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA) that apply to ordinary trusts are often the subject of disputes in the Tax Court or of binding private rulings issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the same cannot be said for special trusts. We briefly discussed the ITA’s dispensation applicable to special trusts in our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 18 January 2019 and explained that it may apply in instances where a person is unable to look after their own affairs and where the special trust is then created for the benefit of such person.
