Our attorneys acting in the Magistrates Court have a good understanding of the Magistrate’s Court Act, Act 32 of 1944 and the Magistrates Court Rules as amended from time to time. We can appear on behalf of clients’ or alternatively junior counsel can be briefed upon client’s instruction. Although we are bound by the time limits set by the Magistrates Court Act, we execute instructions efficiently and effectively. We have an effective electronic diary and alert system to ensure that matters are dealt with on a regular basis and important dates are not overlooked.

Our Attorneys have High Court standing (Right of Appearance), litigation training and experience in litigation which allows them to confidently represent clients in the High Court. For highly complex matters that require specific expertise, we recommend the appointment of counsel with the appropriate knowledge and competence to handle the matter. We have excellent relationships with counsels whom specialize in different fields of law. High Court matters are also loaded on our diary and alert electronic system.
