{"title":"The use of vicarious liability in environmental law to enhance the legal conservation status of birds of prey","authors":"J. Knobel","doi":"10.17159/2225-7160/2023/v56a5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17159/2225-7160/2023/v56a5","url":null,"abstract":"Vicarious liability has been introduced in Scottish environmental law to strengthen the fight against wildlife crime, in particular against birds of prey. Accordingly, landowners can now incur liability for wildlife crime perpetrated by the landowners' employees. Conservation organisations have lauded this development, and this raises the question of whether a similar application of vicarious liability in South African environmental law could enhance the legal conservation status of birds of prey. Vicarious liability is well established in the South African law of delict but is controversial in the context of criminal law. South African environmental law already makes provision for a form of vicarious liability, inter alia also against wildlife crime, but this liability is not strict like the traditional form of vicarious liability known in the law of delict and can accordingly only be referred to as vicarious liability in a wider sense. Unlike traditional strict vicarious liability, which is regarded as undesirable in criminal law by the courts and authors, the wider form of vicarious liability in environmental law may well pass constitutional muster. Nonetheless, the direct liability of a landowner, based on a statutory legal duty to prevent the perpetration of wildlife crime by its employees, would arguably be a more satisfactory solution.","PeriodicalId":41915,"journal":{"name":"De Jure","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74255142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The extraordinary in the ordinary: the devil is in the (sometimes unexpected) details of section 34 of the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936 and the actio Pauliana","authors":"Alastair Smith","doi":"10.17159/2225-7160/2023/v56a4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17159/2225-7160/2023/v56a4","url":null,"abstract":"A recent case offers an opportunity to consider two types of impeachable dispositions in insolvency law. One is the transfer of a trader's business under section 34(1) of the Insolvency Act, and the other is the common-law actio Pauliana from which the entire law of impeachable dispositions derives. In the first place, the nature of the application is characterised as an attempt to reverse the transfer of the business and assets. A common feature of section 34(1) and the actio Pauliana is spotted: they straddle sequestration or winding-up. Compliance with sections 34(1) and (2) of the Insolvency Act is discussed, and the trader's celebration of doing so is then ruined by the pervasive menace of the actio Pauliana, the defence of necessity supplying a sword to cut the Gordian knot. The central insight of the judgment about section 34(1) - the relative meaning of the word \"void\" - is shown to be well-articulated by a widely followed juristic insight into administrative validity. Some of the finer details of the ambit of the word \"void\" are then teased out. The uneasy relationship between section 34(1) and sections 26, 29, 30, and 31 of the Insolvency Act and the actio Pauliana is explored, and an answer to a dilemma over the application of section 34(1) ventured. As for applying the requirements of the actio Pauliana to the facts, a comprehensive, nuanced approach considering both the two relevant possibilities is proposed, rather than the single choice plumped for in the judgment apparently because it is the more usual one. The closing remarks underline the wisdom of thoroughly planning, discussing, and creating a Plan B for the client in the pleadings and executing the procedural requirements and administration.","PeriodicalId":41915,"journal":{"name":"De Jure","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84140601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further discusses the rationale for the constitutional disqualification of unrehabilitated insolvents to serve as MPs in light of international guidelines that advocate for the protection of the income of the debtor that is necessary for the insolvent and his dependents to live decent lives taking into account possible changing living standards.

This note examines the implications of the Amendment Act in light of the Mshengu v Estate Mshengu 9223/2016P judgment, which was decided shortly after the Amendment Act came into effect. Three key issues are analysed: first the potential conflict between the Amendment Act and the Reform of Customary Law of Succession and Regulation of Related Matters Act 11 of 2009 in relation to the ownership of house property; second the challenges in classifying property as house or family property; and third the impact of the devolution of property on the rights of other family members. The analysis emphasises the importance of soliciting input from communities who live according to customary law and highlights the need for legislation that is flexibly drafted to accommodate nuanced customary law practices and provide avenues for redress in cases where statutory provisions yield unfair outcomes.","PeriodicalId":41915,"journal":{"name":"De Jure","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91377317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
