Civil Procedure [2022] ZAGPPHC 949

Swallows FC v Wowowo and Another (045818/2022 ; 046387/2022)

Swallows FC v Wowowo and Another (045818/2022 ; 046387/2022) [2022] ZAGPPHC 949 (9 December 2022)

The court held that, under the NSL Handbook and SAFA regulatory framework, the default position is that the lodgment of an appeal to the SAFA Arbitration Tribunal does not suspend the operation of a DRC award in non-disciplinary matters. Article 125(2) of the SAFA Disciplinary Code does not apply to such appeals. However, an aggrieved party may request the arbitrator to suspend the award pending the outcome of the appeal, as the arbitrator's powers are sufficiently broad under Article 81(11) of the SAFA Disciplinary Code and Article 58(6) of the SAFA Statute. Temporary interdicts were granted…

Constitutional Law [2014] ZACC 31

Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality v Chairperson, North West Provincial Executive Committee and Others (CCT 186/14)

Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality v Chairperson, North West Provincial Executive Committee and Others (CCT 186/14) [2014] ZACC 31; 2015 (1) BCLR 72 (CC) (18 November 2014)

The Constitutional Court held that the urgency in this matter lies not in restoring the status of municipal councillors but in ensuring the immediate provision of basic services to the affected communities. The Municipality failed to demonstrate irreparable harm to itself or its councillors, as any harm could be remedied if the review application succeeds. The administrator's intervention was lawful and aimed at restoring essential services, and the evidence showed that most affected areas had been reconnected. The interests of justice did not warrant granting leave to appeal or direct access…
