Happy World Wildlife Day 🌍🐳
Did you know whales, like the Southern Right Whale, sleep with one eye open? 👁️ They only shut down half of their brain activity so they can regain energy and rest while watching their surroundings for any threats.

You don't have to keep one eye open while you sleep. Let us worry about your legal problems and you get a good night's sleep. 💤

Can a WhatsApp Message form a legally binding contract ❓ Are emojis legally binding ❓Yes and yes - in some cases❗

In a High Court Case - a man who won the lotto sent a WhatsApp saying he would give his children each a million rand. The High Court held that his message had created a valid contract and he was ordered to pay them. (Lucky for him - the Supreme Court of Appeal overturned this)
According to the Law Firm Norton Rose Fullbright, emojis and direct messages full under the definition of "data message" in the Electronic and Communications and Transactions Act and are enforceable under SA Law and could therefore be admissable as evidence in court.
Think before you text or emoji! 😊

Fun fact: 37 years ago the first emoji was published at a University in the USA.

Today, 26 years ago, Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love. He tragically died at the age of 27, without a will. Leaving a daughter and his wife behind. His estate was said to be in the millions and had to devolve in terms of the laws of intestate succession causing quite a confusion. ⚰️ Have you got a will?

Not sure about what type of matrimonial property regime works for you? Ie. how you share your estates when you get married and how it works on death or divorce.

Who got the rights to his music?
