Life in a residential complex comes with many benefits – hence the increasing demand for apartments and security estates - but it also means sacrificing some of the freedom of choice you would enjoy if you were entirely on your own.
For example, pet ownership is often a contentious topic in community schemes, so in the common interest it’s likely to be regulated by the scheme’s Conduct Rules.
Read on for some ideas on how to establish what your legal rights are, with advice for trustees, buyers, sellers and agents on how to avoid dispute and disappointment in the first place. We end off with a note on how to settle any disputes that do arise…

Can it really be “Silly Season” time again? Seems like just yesterday we were all celebrating the birth of a brand-new 2018…
The reality of course is that Year End is now just around the corner, and for many employees that means rapidly-growing expectations of an annual bonus.
Unfortunately not every business will be able or willing to double their monthly salary bill to meet these expectations, and every year at this time the CCMA is landed with the resulting bitter disputes. We discuss whether our law automatically obliges employers to pay bonuses, and lay out the three essentials for both employers and employees to follow in order to avoid any unhappiness or argument.

Whether you are owed money by a maintenance defaulter or by a general debtor, our law gives you a range of collection options.
One of them is the sequestration application – in itself a powerful incentive to the debtor to pay up because of the loss of control over his/her own affairs it entails.
But what do you have to prove in order to succeed in such an application? And how do you prove that the debtor is actually insolvent? We look at an illustrative High Court case in which a mother with a R228,000 claim for arrear maintenance won her case against a series of desperate defences raised by her ex-husband.
