CSOS or Court – do you really have to go through CSOS first?

Not anymore.

A recent ruling confirms that you can choose how to resolve disputes in community schemes:

*Use the Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) for a quicker, more affordable solution
*Go directly to court for complex or urgent matters

And importantly:

*Magistrates’ Courts can also be used, especially for straightforward claims like unpaid levies, subject to limits:

* Up to R200,000 (district court)
* Up to R400,000 (regional court)

Bottom line: CSOS is an option — not a requirement — and you now have more than one court option available.

The SCA confirms that the CSOS Act is optional, not exclusive, and parties may take community scheme disputes directly to the High Court.

Before the hammer falls — what every auction buyer should know.

Buying property at an auction can look like a great opportunity, but many buyers do not realise how different auction purchases are from ordinary property transactions.

Once the hammer falls, the deal is final and legally binding. In most cases the property is sold voetstoots (as is), meaning the buyer accepts the property with all its defects and risks.

Buyers should therefore check important issues beforehand, including the conditions of sale, possible municipal debts, the physical state of the property, and whether the property is occupied. Evicting occupants can sometimes require a court process under the PIE Act.

A little legal guidance before bidding can prevent costly mistakes later.

Think before you bid! Auction homes may look like a steal, but hidden debts, “as is” conditions, and eviction risks can cost more than the hammer hits.

Phrase it. Own it. But can you legally protect it?

In the digital age, a catchy phrase can quickly become a brand in its own right. From influencers and entrepreneurs to businesses and content creators, distinctive taglines and signature sayings are often central to identity and marketing.

But can you actually own a phrase?

Our latest insight explores how South African law protects original expressions, and when a phrase can qualify for legal protection — for example through trade marks, copyright, or passing-off protections depending on how it is used and commercialised. With the rise of AI-generated content and imitation becoming easier than ever, protecting distinctive branding has become increasingly important. 

The key takeaway:
A phrase alone is not automatically protected — but how you use, brand, and register it can make all the difference.

If your slogan, tagline or catchphrase forms part of your business identity, it may be worth considering whether it should be formally protected.
