  • Africa: a Bright Future for Dispute Resolution
    Africa: A bright future for dispute resolution As foreign investment in Africa increases, so does the need for international arbitration – but how can the continent grow this practice? We ask our panel of experts about the challenges By Gabriella Kane 23 May 2019 Arbitration is the most commonly used method of dispute resolution in Africa. Do you see this trend continuing for the foreseeable future and, if so, why? Aisha Abdallah, head of litigation, Anjarwalla & Khanna, Nairobi: Yes. Firstly, foreign direct investment is increasing and, with it, the demand for international arbitration. Secondly, the proliferation of arbitration centres across the continent is evidence of its growing importance as a means of alternative dispute resolution in Africa. This has the support of the judiciary, because it can help in easing the backlog in the court system. Thirdly, African governments are recognising the importance of arbitration in supporting economic development. For example, the Kenyan government has established the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA), as part of its plans to promote the capital city as a financial hub in the region. Adriaan Hoeben, dispute resolution executive, ENSafrica, Cape Town: There is no doubt that this trend will continue. The race for Africa is on, bringing with it ever- increasing projects in sectors including technology, media, telecommunications (TMT), infrastructure development and energy projects. These invariably involve parties from different jurisdictions who do not wish to entrust the resolution of their disputes to domestic courts. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions, corruption is rife and parties want the comfort of knowing that their disputes will be resolved by a tribunal that will not be affected by corruption.

  • Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in South Africa
    Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in South Africa INTRODUCTION The South African government and legal community have made significant strides towards improving access to justice for all in the Republic of South Africa (“South Africa”). The government operates, and continues to expand, a legal aid system that uses public funds to assist those in need of legal services. Likewise, law firms and law societies throughout the country have adopted mandatory pro bono requirements for attorneys. Nevertheless, it is widely recognized that the legal aid system falls short of meeting the needs of the poorest South Africans, particularly in view of the social and economic challenges the country has experienced since the end of the apartheid era. There has been significant growth in the number of legal NGOs offering services, though efforts by private law firms, the country's law societies and these NGOs only go part of the way to improving access to pro bono services. OVERVIEW OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM The Justice System Constitution and Governing Laws South African law is a ‘hybrid’ legal system, with its origins derived from both continental Europe and England. As a general rule, South Africa follows English law in both criminal and civil procedure as well as in company law and the law of evidence. On the other hand, Roman-Dutch common law is followed in contract law, law of tort, law of persons, law of things, family law, etc.1 In the post-apartheid era room has also been made for the recognition of traditional African customary law.2 International law is incorporated into domestic law and becomes binding via adoption in the country's parliament.

  • Celebrate Annual Report 2009
    Celebrate Annual Report 2009 Contents Letter from the Chair 1 Director’s Report 3 Celebrate Clients 4 Celebrate Lawyers 6 Celebrate Basic Rights 8 Celebrate Staff 10 Celebrate Donors 11 Celebrate Board of Directors 12 Annual Financial Statements for the period ended 30 September 2009 13 Letter from the Chair This Annual Report covers the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009. During this period ProBono.Org was among six NGOs selected to participate in The Atlantic Philanthropies’ Sustainability for Human Rights Organisations Programme, which aims to promote the sustainability of civil society organisations working in the area of human rights among the poor. Sustainability in this context is a holistic, systemic process that includes the effective use of human and financial resources and strategies for lasting impact and to create an enduring organisation. At the outset of the programme, the reviewer had this to say about ProBono.Org: “There surely can be no questioning the social value of ProBono.Org. An organisation such as this is absolutely critical in any society if justice is to be accessible to all. Not only does ProBono.Org serve this purpose alongside several other organisations in Gauteng and elsewhere, but it also occupies an important niche which has yet to be filled in this country – one which draws on, and builds, the goodwill and social conscience of the legal community.” - Review of the Advancement Capacity of ProBono.Org, Sean Jones, October 2008 The reviewer went on to comment on the organisation’s very limited capacity not only for core work, but also for advancement (fundraising and promotion).
