πŸ“’ Breaking News: Supreme Court of Appeal Rules Against City of Cape Town in Landmark Property Rights Case

πŸ—“οΈ Date: 10 July 2024

πŸ“ Location: Cape Town, South Africa

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has delivered a crucial judgment, dismissing the City of Cape Town's appeal regarding the eviction of homeless people from unoccupied land. This case has significant implications for property rights and the treatment of vulnerable individuals.

Key Points:

The SCA upheld the earlier High Court ruling, finding the City's actions to be unlawful and unconstitutional.

The case involved the demolition of informal structures by the City's Anti-Land Invasion Unit (ALIU) between April and July 2020 without a court order.

The City invoked the common law defence of counter-spoliation. Spoliation means taking someone's property away without their consent. Counter-spoliation is a legal principle that allows someone to immediately reclaim their property if it was just taken from them.

The court ruled that the City misapplied this principle, as they did not act immediately.

The judgment reinforces the necessity for legal processes and court supervision in eviction cases to protect human dignity and property rights.

What This Means:

The judgment underscores the importance of following lawful procedures and respecting the rights of all individuals, particularly the homeless. The City of Cape Town must seek court orders before carrying out evictions and demolitions, ensuring due process and protection for the vulnerable.

πŸ“’ **Legal Update: High Court Ruling on Lifelong Maintenance**

**Case:** IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA (WESTERN CAPE DIVISION, CAPE TOWN)
**Appeal Case No:** A16/2023
**Case No:** 15871/16
**Judgment Date:** 20 November 2023 [names withheld]

The High Court ruled in favour of the wife in an appeal against the dismissal of her claim for lifelong maintenance. The court mandated lifelong maintenance of R40,000 per month, plus annual inflation adjustments, and comprehensive medical aid coverage from her ex-husband. The court's decision was based on the wife’s financial need, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on her career, the husband’s substantial financial means, and the importance of maintaining the marital standard of living. The 14-year marriage duration and the wife’s age, which affects her employability, were also significant factors. This ruling highlights the court’s approach to fair and equitable maintenance.
