Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT : This dissertation is concerned with Rule 41A of the Rules Regulating the Conduct of the Proceedings of the Several Provincial and Local Divisions of the High Court of South Africa (“High Court Rules”) which recently introduced mediation as a preliminary step in the high court litigation process. Specifically, the focus is on critiquing Rule 41A, as it does not provide a proper framework for court-annexed mediation in its current form.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Hierdie verhandeling het betrekking op Reël 41A van die Reëls waarby die Verrigtinge van die verskillende Provinsiale en Plaaslike Afdelings van die Hoë Hof van Suid- Afrika gereël word ("Eenvormige Reëls"), welke reël bemiddeling onlangs as 'n voorlopige stap in die proses van hooggeregshoflitigasie ingestel het. Reël 41A word in hierdie verhandeling gekritiseer, aangesien dit nie 'n behoorlike raamwerk vir hofaangeslote bemiddeling in sy huidige vorm behels nie.
