The Advisory - closing dates for the end of 2025

It’s hard to believe that we have already reached November, and are quickly approaching the end of 2025.

If there are any outstanding issues within your scheme that you would like our legal team's assistance with before the end of the year, we encourage you to book any consultations or written work required as soon as possible. Our team’s schedule will quickly fill up leading into the holiday season, so getting in touch with us sooner, rather than later, will ensure that we have enough time to complete your work before our offices close for Christmas and New Year.

Our office will close on 15 December 2025 and we will reopen on 5 January 2026.

We look forward to finishing the year strong and assisting you with any final projects before we take some well-deserved rest!

UCT short course reduced price deadlines

While our offices are officially closing on 15 December, as noted above, you will still have until 19 December to make payment for the Limited Early Registration payment plan. Details of this plan for both courses are noted further down in this edition.

ARTICLE - NOVEMBER 2025

Supreme Court of Appeal Confirms: CSOS Does Not Oust High Court Jurisdiction

By Auren Freitas dos Santos

In this article, Auren discusses a recent Supreme Court of Appeal ruling which settles the long-standing question of whether community scheme disputes must go through the CSOS or can be heard directly by the High Court.
