Legal articles and insights
Read South African legal articles that connect legal problems, practical resources, glossary terms, lawyers, law firms, and booking paths.
Avoid deadline, evidence, child, money and settlement mistakes after divorce papers arrive, with a safer substitute for every risky action.
Use a first-48-hours conduct protocol after divorce papers arrive: avoid admissions, accidental agreement, unsafe contact and evidence damage.
Review the exact divorce agreement, disclosure, children, support, property, debt, pension terms and implementation before signing.
Use a red-amber-green urgency test to decide when divorce papers need immediate representation, focused advice or bounded self-help.
Organise the consultation notice, disclosures, proposals, selection records, alternatives, termination letter and payment evidence for a retrenchment review.
Avoid resigning impulsively, missing proposals or referral dates, deleting evidence, rejecting alternatives blindly or signing unclear retrenchment terms.
Ask about section 189 or 189A, missing disclosures, alternatives, selection criteria, the referral route, likely remedies, fees and the next practical step.
Keep the section 189 notice, consultation record, information requests, selection material, alternatives, employment terms and final payment documents together.
An employer's fairness statement is not the final legal test. Compare the written consultation, reasons, alternatives, selection method, payments and referral date.
Before referring a retrenchment dispute, verify the dismissal date, correct forum, consultation facts, employer details, dispute category and proof of service.
Get prompt retrenchment advice when consultation is closing, dismissal is imminent, a referral date is near, selection appears discriminatory or papers need signing.
Build a SARS objection file with the assessment, reasons, disputed items, calculations, source evidence, authority, submission proof and payment plan.
Prepare a seller-side property transfer file covering the agreement, identity, authority, bond, clearance, tax, compliance and occupation records.
Preserve a dispute-ready property transfer record showing operative terms, milestone evidence, communications, payments, delay cause and resulting loss.
Before signing during a delayed property transfer, test any addendum, extension, waiver, cost allocation, admission or settlement against the sale agreement.
Ask for a written seller-side ledger separating transfer fees, clearances, bond charges, occupation costs and amounts genuinely caused by delay.
Spot seller-side property transfer risks early by tracking conditions, finance, bond cancellation, SARS, clearances, signing and Deeds Office dependencies.
Check the exact stage of a delayed South African property transfer, identify the evidence-backed blocker, owner, deadline and next authorised action.
Know when a delayed South African property transfer needs independent legal review, especially before notices, amendments, waivers or cancellation.
Check parties, authority, released claims, payment, defaults, confidentiality, costs, tax, court steps and deadlines before accepting a settlement.
Prepare a South African shareholder dispute file with the MOI, securities register, agreements, resolutions, financial records, communications and urgency map.
