Good riddance to ‘gag orders’? South African courts move away from prior restraint orders

Freedom of expression in South Africa is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. This includes, inter alia , freedom of speech, access to information, and, importantly, media freedom. The right to freedom of expression is fundamental and a prerequisite in any democracy. The post-1994 South African media landscape is turbulent and often somewhat adversarial. However, just like any other right enshrined in the Constitution, the right to freedom of expression may be limited where it is justifiable and reasonable. Even the media’s freedom may be constrained to protect another constitutional right or to preserve the integrity of the administration of justice.

Not only does a due diligence (DD) provide comfort to an investor that the financial, operational and legal risks of its investment have been identified and mitigated, but it also provides scope for assessing and testing the valuation of the target. Despite their benefit, due diligence investigations are often viewed as a “ grudge spend ” by investors or an administrative hoop to jump through in order to obtain approval for an investment. However, there are ways in which an investor can approach and structure a due diligence investigation in order to maximise the benefit of the process and, very often, reduce costs.
