Abstract:

Magister Legum - LLM<br>Civil litigation is the primary method of dispute resolution in the South African civil justice system. This process is characterised by a number of shortcomings which include the adversarial nature of the process which often creates further conflict between disputing parties and often results in permanently destroyed relationships between them. Further shortcomings include the highly complex, costly and time-consuming nature of civil litigation. These shortcomings infringe on the constitutional imperative of access to justice for South Africans, particularly for the in

Abstract:

In the last decade the use of closed-circuit television or similar electronic devices (CCTV) has started to play a significant role in courtrooms, both as a silent witness and as a device through which to receive testimony. The benefits of optimising the use of CCTV for receiving testimony are numerous. This paper focusses on two, namely easier access to justice through criminal courts, and bridging the gap between the protective measures created by legislation with regard to vulnerable witnesses and the effective implementation of said measures. The requirements for using CCTV to recei

Abstract:

In classical terms, democracy is synonymous with direct participation. However, as states grew and direct public participation became more difficult, a more minimal concept of democracy associated with enfranchisement was adopted. Democracy, however, should not be limited to the enfranchisement of the masses. It ought to include some level of direct public participation in branches of the government such as the judicial system.

In order for the proceeds of unlawful activities to be completely dislodged from the criminals’ hands, the latter should be effectively deterred from allowing their assets to be used to execute or facilitate the commission of offences.

The discrimination jurisprudence in South Africa has developed over the previous decade since the promulgation of the interim and final Constitutions.

Oil-fouled beaches, dying seabirds and severe economic loss from the closure of fishing grounds and holiday resorts is the picture painted by oil spills, and these consequences often arouse public outrage.

This thesis paper reflects upon the costume design process taken by Emma Hollows to produce a realist production of the Junction Avenue Theatre Company’s musical Sophiatown at the Augusta Savage Gallery at the University of Massachusetts in May 2020.
