ALBASINI ATTORNEYS ON A WINNING STREAK 🏆

IN THE MATTER BETWEEN AB AND SC IN THE HIGH COURT OF PRETORIA

The Applicant AB brought an urgent application to be heard on 24 March 2026.
The Applicant sought the following relief:
- Primary residence and care of the child (JWC, born 7 March 2017) to be awarded to the
Applicant.
- Respondent (SC) to have supervised contact every alternate weekend (Sat & Sun,
10h00–14h00) under a social worker’s supervision.
- Appointment of therapist to conduct a forensic assessment of both parties and the child.
- Respondent to pay costs of the forensic assessment and application.

The Respondent, represented by Charl Albasini and Albasini Attorneys, opposed the
application on the grounds that the matter is not urgent and that AB is abusing the court process to protect herself from criminal and domestic-violence consequences due to allegations of assault against the minor child.

The Applicant claimed that the Respondent abandoned the child when he relocated to the UK, and further alleged that the Respondent’s return to SA is interfering with the minor child’s life and causing him distress.

The Respondent’s reply was that the move to the UK was originally agreed and that he stayed involved through visits, calls, and financial support.
It was brought to the Court’s attention that the Respondent’s return to SA was due to the
Applicant’s indication she could not cope with the child’s behaviour.

Applicant’s position: Seeks urgent protection, supervised contact, and expert involvement to safeguard the child.

Respondent’s position: Argues urgency is fabricated, child is not at risk, and the application is abusive; requests dismissal with costs.

On the 24th March 2026, the Court granted an Order that the Respondent’s contact to
be reinstated effective immediately; and that the parties to agree to a professional to
conduct a forensic assessment, cost of which must be split equally, whereafter they
may approach the Court again to supplement their papers.

Albasini Attorneys has once again claimed victory for our client whilst also ensuring that the best interest of the child prevails. ⚖️💫

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT DOG ATTACKS? 🐕‍🦺⚖️

In South Africa, the law protects victims of dog attacks under what’s called the “actio de pauperie". This means that if a dog attacks someone without provocation, the dog’s owner can be held legally responsible for any injuries or damages caused. Victims have the right to claim compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and even loss of income resulting from the attack. The law is quite strict—owners are generally liable unless they can prove the victim provoked the dog, was trespassing, or knowingly took the risk.

On the other hand , dog owners also have rights and possible defenses. If the dog was provoked or if the victim was on the property unlawfully, the owner may not be held fully liable. However, it’s crucial for owners to make sure their pets are properly restrained and to warn visitors of any potential risks to avoid legal troubles.

Here’s what you need to know:-

What is actio de pauperie?

This is a legal principle from Roman-Dutch law, which is still applied in South Africa today. It holds pet owners strictly liable for damages caused by their animals, regardless of whether or not the owner was negligent. However, there are exceptions, such as when the victim provoked the animal or was trespassing.

Owner’s Duty of Care:
Beyond strict liability, owners are expected to take reasonable precautions to prevent their dogs from causing harm. This includes fencing, leashing, and providing warnings to visitors if a dog is known to be aggressive.

Potential Consequences:
In addition to civil liability (compensating the victim), dog owners may face criminal charges if their negligence is found to be gross, especially in cases resulting in severe injury or death. Local bylaws may also impose fines or require the dog to be removed or euthanized in extreme cases.

Reporting Dog Attacks:
Victims should report attacks to local authorities such as the police or animal control as soon as possible, if not immediately, after the incident occurred. A prompt report helps document the incident and may be necessary for both medical and legal reasons.

Defenses Available to Owners:
If the dog was defending its owner, property, or itself from harm, or if the victim ignored clear warnings, these may serve as valid defenses in court.

Insurance Considerations:
Many homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies cover liability for dog attacks. Dog owners should check their policies to ensure they have adequate protection in case of an incident.

Comparison to Other Countries:
Laws regarding dog attacks can vary widely worldwide. For example, in the United States, some states follow “strict liability” while others require proof of owner negligence. In the UK, the Dangerous Dogs Act sets out specific breeds and owner responsibilities.

Tips for Prevention:
Socializing and training dogs from a young age, supervising interactions with strangers, and being aware of your dog’s behavior can help prevent attacks and legal issues.
Remember, each case can be unique. Legal outcomes depend on specific facts, such as where the attack occurred, the actions of the owner and victim, and any evidence of prior aggression...

And for the best outcome, you need Albasini Attorneys in your corner.

Gender-Based Violence is not a “family issue.” It’s a crime — and the law is on your side.

In South Africa, the Domestic Violence Act, 16 of 1998, exists to protect victims from abuse in their own homes and relationships. That includes physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, verbal and economic abuse. If someone is controlling, threatening, intimidating or harming you — that’s domestic violence. Too many victims stay silent because they don’t know their rights or feel powerless against their abuser.

But here’s the truth: you do not have to fight alone.

If you or someone you know needs legal protection, Albasini Attorneys specializes in assisting victims in enforcing their rights under the Domestic Violence Act — including applying for Protection Orders and holding abusers accountable through the legal system.

Raising awareness matters because - Abuse doesn’t always leave visible marks. Control is not love. Living in fear is not normal

The law gives victims protection. The right legal support gives them power. If you are ready to take a stand, reach out to Albasini Attorneys and fight back with the law behind you.
Speak up. Share this. Save a life. 💜

FROM BATTLE GROUND TO COMMON GROUND : USING MEDIATION AS A TOOL IN DIVORCE MATTERS💍⚖️

Mediation in divorce is sometimes confused with couples therapy, but it's actually a different method of resolving disputes. It involves separating partners who acknowledge their marriage has ended, working with an impartial third party to negotiate the terms of their divorce. Unlike Court proceedings where a judge makes decisions, mediation lets you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse discuss and make final decisions together on issues such as dividing assets, care and contact arrangements in matters where children are involved, and support for children or spouses.

The mediator, being an expert in family law disputes, guides both sides through relevant laws and principles, offering direction rather than issuing commands. If successful, mediation resolves matters swiftly and affordably, avoiding lengthy Court battles. The outcome is usually recorded in a settlement agreement, which becomes a Court Order. If mediation fails, the case moves to traditional litigation, but nothing said during mediation can be shared with the Court, as same is said on a “Without Prejudice” basis and such discussions remain confidential.

Recently ,especially in light of the Mediation Directive issued by the office of the Deputy Judge President, mediation has become increasingly common in divorce cases, to the point where filing a mediation notice is now required with the initial Combined Summons. This notice, known as a “Rule 41A Notice”, must state whether you agree or object to mediation and provide reasons for your stance.

Mediation can help maintain family relationships even after divorce, especially when children are involved, making it a valuable option in many cases. Still, because mediation isn’t suitable for every situation, it's wise to consult a lawyer to decide if it's right for your circumstances.

Albasini Attorneys offers expert guidance and dedicated support in divorce matters, helping our clients navigate complex situations with confidence and care.
