Appeals are about a decisions merit but reviews are about its legality, not its merits. Appeals focus on the outcome, on the decision itself, whereas reviews focus on the process leading to that outcome.
Where we act
Members of our chambers act on the full range of constitutional and public-law matters affecting government departments, statutory bodies, regulators, parastatals, municipalities and the private sector. Our counsel appear in the High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, Constitutional Court and specialist tribunals.
How we work
Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.
Who briefs us
Our Appeals & Reviews members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
