Unlawful Arrests and your rights

06 December 2024,  Hesri Eloff

In South Africa, the process of making arrests is governed by the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 as amended... (CPA), which outlines the legal framework for law enforcement officials when apprehending individuals suspected of committing crimes. This legislation ensures that arrests are carried out in a manner that upholds the rights of the accused, while also safeguarding public safety and maintaining order. The CPA sets clear guidelines on when and how an arrest may be made, the powers granted to police officers, and the procedures that must be followed to ensure the arrest is lawful. Understanding the principles enshrined in this act is crucial for both legal professionals and the public, as it aims to balance the interests of justice with the protection of constitutional rights.

Understanding Restraints of Trade in South Africa: Legal Position and Practical Insights

06 December 2024,  Gerhard Smit

A restraint of trade agreement is generally contained in a contract of employment. The purpose of such a restraint of trade... clause is to protect businesses from unfair competition by former employees or partners and safeguard company secrets and its client base. A typical restraint of trade clause may require a senior manager or sales executive with access to sensitive business information, such as client lists or trade secrets, to agree not to work for a competitor within six months of leaving the company within a specified geographic area. Restraints of trade agreements are sometimes likened to an antenuptial contract in that it has no practical impact until the relationship terminates. The agreement must then be implemented post-breakup, which can lead to disputes.

Thank you so much for attending to the transfer and for being so efficient. It has been such a pleasure to work with you.

It just remains for me to thank you very much for all the work involved in getting us to this end point - a point I'm sure we all wondered if we'd ever see at some stage or other. I would also like to thank your conveyancing department who was wonderful at communicating during the sale of the house.

Jayne, Private client

Baie dankie, dit is ’n verligting dat my pa se boedel afgehandel is – alle dank weereens aan jou. Baie dankie vir die professionele manier waarop jy alles hanteer het, al jou moeite met die ‘ekstras’ en die gereelde kommunikasie om ons op hoogte te hou. Ons sal kontak behou!

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity you have afforded me of completing Vacation Work with your firm. I have enjoyed my time spent with you, and it has been an absolute pleasure to learn more about your firm, and the legal world. I am so appreciative of the warm welcome by all of your colleagues, and the manner in which we interacted throughout my time here. I hope to return for more Vacation Work this year, and I am exceedingly eager to apply to complete my articles with you, as I have just about fallen in love with your firm and the family that it hosts.

Tamara Foyn, Vacation Work Candidate

Testimony of great service delivery: Miller, Bosman, Le Roux Attorneys are always going the extra mile, or in this case many kilometers, for our agents. Isabel drove all the way to Caledon today to collect keys from an owner for CoC repairs to be done tomorrow to ensure that a transaction can register as soon as possible. Thank you to Grant HILL and Isabel HART. Going upHILL (pun intended) for our agents shows your HeARTs (pun intended) are in the right place.
