In most cases hitting a pothole results in a damaged tyre or wheel. But for one unfortunate motorcyclist who hit a 60cm behemoth near George, it meant losing a leg.

The High Court held the Department of Infrastructure liable for his damages, finding that the roads authority had failed to detect, repair or warn road users about a dangerous defect it knew, or should have known, about.

An email containing banking details may look genuine—but appearances can be deceptive.

Fraudsters may intercept email correspondence, impersonate a trusted party or alter banking information before a payment is made. Before transferring funds, verify the banking details using a known and trusted contact method. Do not rely solely on the contact details contained in the email requesting payment.

A simple independent verification can help prevent a costly mistake.

For decades, South African law used the husband’s legal home at the time of marriage to decide which country’s law governed a couple’s financial and property rights when they had ties to more than one country.

A recent Western Cape High Court judgment declared that rule unconstitutional and introduced a gender-neutral framework for deciding which country’s law applies. Courts elsewhere in the country are not bound by the judgment but are likely to follow it.

Signing surety for a business or another person’s debt can have serious personal consequences.

A suretyship may allow a creditor to pursue the person who signed it if the principal debtor does not meet their obligations. Depending on the wording, the commitment may also continue beyond a single transaction or remain in place until it is formally released.

Independent legal guidance can help you understand the risk before you place your personal assets on the line.

Meet the Team
Shanyce Singh
Conveyancing and Notarial Services

Area of law: I specialise in conveyancing and notarial services. I enjoy being part of the moments that matter most to my clients, from registering the transfer of a new home to drafting an antenuptial contract as a couple plans their future.

Why law: I studied law because I could not stand injustice and wanted to help shape society. In practice, I discovered a passion for conveyancing and notarial work, where I now help people through some of life’s biggest milestones.

What I value most: The trust my clients place in me and the opportunity to be someone they can rely on.

Something you may not know: I enjoy watching The Vampire Diaries.

If I was not in law: I would be a reality TV star.

Paying rent under a residential lease does not automatically make you a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act.

A recent Supreme Court of Appeal decision shows that the real question is whether the landlord is letting property in the ordinary course of business.

That said, even where the CPA does not apply and a lease is validly cancelled, a landlord cannot simply tell a tenant to leave without following the correct eviction process.

Unpaid accounts can place unnecessary pressure on a business—but acting without a clear process can make recovery more difficult.

Before pursuing a debt, ensure that you have the relevant agreement, invoices, statements, correspondence and proof that the goods or services were delivered. A properly managed recovery process may begin with formal communication and negotiation before progressing to legal action where necessary.

Addressing overdue debts promptly and obtaining guidance on the appropriate steps can help protect your cash flow and your legal position.

A commercial lease can affect your business long after the keys have been handed over.

Before signing, it is important to understand more than the monthly rental amount. The agreement may also deal with escalation, operating costs, maintenance responsibilities, permitted use, insurance, renewal options and what happens if either party breaches the lease.

These terms should be clearly recorded and carefully considered before you commit.

Legal guidance at the outset can help you understand your obligations and reduce the risk of unexpected costs or disputes later.

The “Whistleblower’s Act”, formally known as the Protected Disclosures Act, encourages employees to expose corruption, criminal activity and other wrongdoing in the workplace.

But what protections does the Act actually give whistleblowers? And what steps should employers and employees take to ensure they comply with it? We’ll answer all of these questions in the context of a recent Labour Court decision to reinstate a manager who was ostensibly fired for breaching ICT policies.
