Arbitration: Careful drafting applies as much to the arbitration agreement as to the pleadings

An agreement to arbitrate a specific issue will generally describe both the issue the arbitrator is required to decide and the arbitrator’s powers. The arbitrator has no power beyond the agreed terms of reference. The parties will then usually set out their respective claims or defences in documents referred to as pleadings. Unless the terms of reference are broad, for example allowing the arbitrator to decide whatever issues arise from the pleadings, the arbitrator may be restricted by what is in the terms of reference. Even if the terms of reference are broadly to deal with any dispute that arises on the pleadings, anything not “ on the papers ” would seem to be excluded.

Court confirms the rights of pregnant and lactating women and children under six to free healthcare

On Friday, 14 April CDH’s Pro Bono & Human Rights practice celebrated victory in one of its long-standing matters concerning the enforcement of the rights of pregnant and lactating women and children to free healthcare. The practice represented the public interest law organisation, Section 27, and three individual applicants, to challenge the validity of Gauteng provincial legislation, departmental policies and practices which have been used to deny migrant and undocumented pregnant and lactating women and children under six free healthcare to which they are entitled, in health facilities across the province.

Antenuptial contracts: I do/I don’t

In terms of the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984 (Matrimonial Property Act), all marriages and civil unions entered into between parties are at present automatically deemed as being in community of property. In terms of this matrimonial property regime, the parties’ assets are pooled together to form one joint (communal) estate. The parties therefore become the owners of an undivided one-half share in and to each other’s respective estate, which is inclusive of all their assets and liabilities (debts).
