Rule 16a

Uniform Rule 16A requires a party raising a constitutional issue to prepare a notice (a ‘Rule 16A Notice’) containing a clear and succinct description of the constitutional issue raised. The notice after being stamped by the Registrar must be posted by the Registrar on a dedicated notice-board in the relevant High Court. One of the main purposes of the Rule 16A Notice is to inform those who may be interested in the constitutional challenge of the challenge. In order to further this purpose, and in the interests of making such legal information freely available online, SAFLII has decided to provide an online noticeboard for parties to post their Rule 16A Notices. SAFLII wishes to make clear that posting the Rule 16A Notice here is supplementary to, not a substitute for, compliance with the procedure set out in the Rules.

If you would like to post a Rule 16A Notice here, please email info@saflii.org with Rule 16A notices for publication on this page. Notices will be maintained on the page for up to six months.
