Abstract:
During the past year, various amendments to the Rules of the Supreme
Court of Appeal, the Uniform Rules of Court and the magistrates’ courts
rules came into operation.
The COVID-19 situation continued to require the publication of various
practice directives dealing with court operations during the pandemic by
heads of court.
The superior courts delivered judgments regarding various aspects of
civil procedure. In some judgments trite principles were reiterated; in others
new principles in respect of, among others, the application of rules of court
were laid down.
During this period, a number of articles dealing with different aspects of
civil procedure were published.
