Recognising Intimate Relationships: Civil Union Act and the Marriage Act

Within the South African context, our legal framework for recognising intimate relationships is unique. Our legislative framework offers various legislative pathways for couples to formalise their unions. The two most prominent Acts are the Marriage Act, 1961 (Act 25 of 1961) and the Civil Union Act, 2006 (Act 17 of 2006). Both Acts, while governing the solemnisation and registration of partnerships, differ in various aspects, including scope, eligibility, formalities, and social context. If you find yourself in a position where you want to solemnise your relationship, it is important to know these differences and to know which Act is most applicable to you and your relationship.

Know Your Rental Rights

Renting a home should be straightforward: you pay your rent, you get a safe place to live, and both sides respect the agreement. Unfortunately, renting does not always go as planned. The Rental Housing Act was introduced to keep things fair and balanced between tenants and landlords. And when disputes do arise, the Rental Housing Tribunal (RHT) steps in as a neutral referee.

Mediation Before Litigation: Balancing Efficiency and Constitutional Rights

South Africa’s civil justice system faces significant challenges, including escalating litigation costs, prolonged delays, and an overwhelming backlog of cases, with some civil trial dates not projected until 2031. Against this background, the South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC) has been developing a Draft Mediation Bill since 2019 to integrate alternative dispute resolution (ADR), particularly mediation, into the mainstream justice system.

How to Clear Your Name After a Default Judgment Against You: Rescission of Judgments

Most people only become aware that a default judgment has been granted against them when the sheriff arrives with a warrant of ex*****on or when their credit applications are unexpectedly declined. A default judgment is usually issued when a defendant fails to enter an appearance to defend or does not attend trial, and in the Magistrates’ Court, this is regulated by Rule 12. The consequences are severe: adverse credit listings, attachment of assets, and, in some cases, ex*****on against property. A default judgment remains valid for thirty years, which means taking corrective action is essential.
