Judges

The first respondent was a director of three companies and failed to disclose his financial interests as required by the Senior Management Service Handbook and Public Service Regulations. The Labour Court erred in finding that no disclosure was required and that the relevant legislation was irrelevant. The duty to disclose is both a statutory and fiduciary obligation for senior management employees. The Department was entitled to disqualify the first respondent for non-disclosure, as this omission was material to his suitability for appointment. The Labour Court's review and setting aside of…

Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number
2021/36970
Judge
Nyathi
The court found that the applicant had demonstrated a material change in her financial circumstances since the initial Rule 43 order. The maintenance awarded previously was insufficient to meet her living and medical needs, and the respondent had failed to provide suitable accommodation and pay medical expense shortfalls. The respondent's opposition was based on bare denials and unsupported assertions, and he failed to provide full financial disclosure. The applicant's need for increased maintenance, suitable accommodation, arrear medical expenses, and a further contribution to legal costs wa…

S.T.H v A.T.H (060610/22) [2024] ZAGPPHC 1237 (28 November 2024)
Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number
060610/22
Judge
GN Moshoana
The court found that the plaintiff failed to discharge the onus of proving a need for lifelong spousal maintenance. Both parties possess existing and prospective means to support themselves following the breakdown of the marriage. The plaintiff is economically independent, has multiple sources of income, and her financial difficulties stem from her own irresponsibility rather than any inability to earn. She did not provide full disclosure of her earnings, undermining her claim. The defendant's business is struggling, and his health issues impose significant financial obligations. The plaintif…
