Important: the information on this website is general legal information only. It is not legal advice.

No attorney-client relationship

Viewing this website, submitting the claim calculator, or otherwise contacting us does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship arises only once a written mandate has been signed with a South African attorney.

Every case is different

Every matter depends on its own facts and the applicable law, including the Constitution, the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977, the Prescription Act 68 of 1969, the Institution of Legal Proceedings Against Certain Organs of State Act 40 of 2002, and the leading authorities of the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court of Appeal.

Assessment

Any assessment through our online calculator is preliminary and indicative only. It does not guarantee that a claim exists, that it will succeed, or that any particular quantum will be awarded.

Prescription and notices

Civil claims are typically subject to strict notice requirements and prescription periods. Failure to comply may permanently defeat a claim. Do not delay in seeking advice.

Advertising principles

This website aims to comply with the Legal Practice Council's Code of Conduct and general South African advertising standards. No guarantee of outcome is intended or should be inferred.
