The scariest things us lawyers hear are not ghost stories...

From "I signed it without reading it" to "We don't need a written agreement", some of the most frightening legal situations start with seemingly harmless assumptions.

And while these statements might make us laugh (or scream a little), the consequences can be anything but funny.

Whether it's a contract, property transaction, employment matter or estate planning, getting the right legal advice early can help you avoid costly horror stories.

Mark your calendars. 📅 Wednesday, 4 November 2026 has been confirmed as South Africa's Local Government Elections date and will be observed as a national public holiday, allowing every eligible citizen the opportunity to cast their vote without work commitments getting in the way.

Here is what employers and employees need to know:

For employees:
• You are entitled to a paid public holiday
• Your constitutional right to vote is protected, your employer may not prevent you from doing so
• If you are required to work on a public holiday, you are entitled to double your normal wage for that day or your normal wage plus a day off in lieu

For employers:
• Employees are entitled to the day off on full pay
• Employees who agree to work must be compensated in accordance with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act
• Encouraging your team to vote is not just good practice, it is the right thing to do

Know your rights, exercise your vote, and make 4 November count. 🇿🇦

Selling your property? A voetstoots clause didn't stop a R244 855 damages claim against these sellers.

In the South African case of Gortzen and Another v Moolman (2024), sellers were held liable for undisclosed damp defects, despite the property being sold voetstoots.

Selling a property "as is" doesn't necessarily protect you from legal claims, particularly if you knowingly conceal property defects.

Understanding the difference between patent and latent defects, and your disclosure obligations, could help you avoid costly legal disputes.

From marketing your home with 3%.Com Properties Durbanville, to reviewing your offer to purchase, understanding your legal obligations and managing the transfer process, our team can guide you through the process.

Unfortunately for our attorneys, this wasn't in their job description.

Sorry, not sorry. 🙌 😆

Funny how our brains can overlook the smallest details and still make sense of what we’re reading. 🦋

But when it comes to legal documents, those little details can make a huge difference! Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know exactly what you’re agreeing to.

If you need a little help navigating the fine print, our team is ready to assist.
