DarkMatter™ Response

Anti-hallucination in action

"The principle of audi alteram partem is well established in South African administrative law, notably in Administrator, Transvaal v Traub 1989 (4) SA 731 (A)."

"However, I am not certain whether this extends to preliminary investigation phases. I recommend verifying on SAFLII and consulting a practitioner for your specific matter."
