Work highlights
- Successfully represented a key applicant, the South African Association for Water Use Associations (SAAFWUA), in a landmark decision made by the Constitutional Court in the Transfer of Water Use Entitlements; the Court ruled that the National Water Act allows for the transfer of water use entitlements, and that trading in such rights is not prohibited or unlawful.
