Constitutional Court hears challenge to certain provisions of the Road Accident Fund Amendment Act
On 1 March 2010 application was made to the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria by the Law Society of South Africa and ten others (‘the Applicants”) challenging the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Road Accident Fund Amendment Act 19 of 2005, which came into effect on 1 August 2008. The application was opposed by the Minister of Transport and the Road Accident Fund (“the Respondents”). Judgment was handed down by the then Acting Judge Fabricius on 31 March 2010, dismissing the application with no order as to costs.
The Applicants then filed an application for leave to appeal directly to the Constitutional Court, and this application was set down for hearing on 12 August 2010. The full bench of the Constitutional Court (except for Judge Joffe), not only heard argument by the respective parties relating to the application for leave to appeal, but the merits upon which the judgment in the court a quo was challenged. |
