It’s unfortunately all too common a tale. Out of the blue, an older person, rendered vulnerable by age or illness, acquires a new “friend”. Before anyone in the family realises what’s going on, their loved one has died, and the fraudster claims to be sole heir in terms of a last-minute will.

No surprise then that our courts must often determine whether a deceased person’s last will was tainted by incapacity, undue influence, fraud, or even forgery. The sad tale of a 90-year-old man who left behind two conflicting wills is a good example of how our courts approach these situations.

Under the current law, it is already illegal to employ someone who is not legally entitled to work in South Africa. This applies to businesses and to households employing foreign domestic workers, nannies or gardeners.

A new Bill proposes additional duties and higher penalties for employers, but these changes are not yet law. Employers should therefore comply with the existing law and remain alert to the proposed changes.

Your fingerprint suddenly stops working at the estate gate. You can still get home, but only through the visitors’ lane. Can your homeowners’ association cut off your biometric access because it says you owe levies?

A recent High Court judgment says an association cannot use biometric access to enforce an alleged default. The case also confirms that biometric access to your home can be protected as part of your possession of the property.

In most cases hitting a pothole results in a damaged tyre or wheel. But for one unfortunate motorcyclist who hit a 60cm behemoth near George, it meant losing a leg.

The High Court held the Department of Infrastructure liable for his damages, finding that the roads authority had failed to detect, repair or warn road users about a dangerous defect it knew, or should have known, about.

Home security cameras are increasingly common, but protecting your property does not give you an unrestricted right to monitor your neighbours.

A dispute between Cape Town neighbours has clarified where the line may be drawn. The bottom line? CCTV surveillance of a neighbour’s private spaces can infringe their constitutional rights to privacy and dignity.

For decades, South African law used the husband’s legal home at the time of marriage to decide which country’s law governed a couple’s financial and property rights when they had ties to more than one country.

A recent Western Cape High Court judgment declared that rule unconstitutional and introduced a gender-neutral framework for deciding which country’s law applies. Courts elsewhere in the country are not bound by the judgment but are likely to follow it.

The “Whistleblower’s Act”, formally known as the Protected Disclosures Act, encourages employees to expose corruption, criminal activity and other wrongdoing in the workplace.

But what protections does the Act actually give whistleblowers? And what steps should employers and employees take to ensure they comply with it? We’ll answer all of these questions in the context of a recent Labour Court decision to reinstate a manager who was ostensibly fired for breaching ICT policies.

When a sale falls through, most people assume restitution means simply giving back the money and the property. A recent High Court decision shows it is rarely that straightforward, particularly if the property itself has changed in the interim.

The ruling explains how restoration costs should be worked out, and why the condition of the property when occupation begins can matter years later.

“Restitutio in Integrum”
An ancient Roman law remedy literally meaning "restoration to the original state", restitutio in integrum aims to restore people, as far as possible, to the position they would have been in if a wrongful act or transaction hadn’t occurred.

So, when a contract is rescinded, the aim is to return both parties to their pre-contract positions. If, for example, a seller sold you a defective car and the court cancelled the contract, the seller would have to return your money, and you would have to return the car. Likewise, when damages are awarded, the principle is to put you in the financial position you would have been in had the wrong not been committed. If therefore your car was written off in an accident caused by another driver's negligence, the damages awarded would generally compensate you for all your financial losses: the value of your vehicle, towing charges etc.
