One of the most exciting and nerve wrecking tasks for a legal practitioner is drafting and moving an urgent application.

Be it in the magistrates court, high court or labour court, I have always felt a special thrill when dealing with matters of this nature.

This particular matter was brought through by an associate firm who requested my assistance with drafting and moving of the application.

Background

Client and respondent are married in community of property. There are divorce proceedings pending between the parties. The respondent withdrew his pension fund and sought to hide this from the client.

The practical effect of this is the client is being deprived of her half share of the pension fund interest, from date of marriage to date of divorce, in terms of the Divorce Act.

The Respondent was placed on terms to provide the details of the amount withdrawn and to pay half the funds over to the instructing attorney to be held in trust pending the finalization of the divorce. He became stubborn and obstinate and refused to comply.

An urgent, ex parte application was brought and heard at the Durban High Court.

An order was obtained on the following basis

1 - The respondent was directed to disclose the full amount obtained from the pension fund
2 - The respondent was directed to pay half the funds received to the attorney trust account to be held pending finalization of the divorce
3 - We were authorized to approach the court on an urgent basis in respect of contempt proceedings if the respondent failed to comply

It was a good day in court with a good result for the client.

On Friday 11 November 2022 we received a call that a client had been arrested by Immigration officials from the Department of Home Affairs for the employment of an illegal foreigner.

Our Mr Raoof proceeded to the Maydon Wharf SAPS where he engaged with the SAPS members on duty regarding bail for the accused.

Once the SAPS had finished processing the accused, our Mr Raoof obtained bail for the accused for him to appear at the Durban Magistrates Court on 15 November 2022.

Our client was saved from having to spend the weekend in custody thanks to our quick intervention.

When dealing with criminal charges, it is essential to have a proper strategy in mind.

A client was recently the victim of multiple false cases being opened against him with SAPS.

His family members were in possession of protection orders based on false statements and would regularly obtain warrants of arrest. These would be executed on a Friday forcing him to spend the weekend in jail.

Our director decided on a multi pronged approach, attacking both the protection orders and the false charges.

The protection orders were rescinded and the charges withdrawn based on representations to the Senior Public Prosecutor.

The client can now sleep peacefully without fear of unwarranted arrest.
