Disciplinary action: Can excessive delays taint procedural fairness?

Chloë Loubser and Amandla Makhongwana 11 Dec 2023

The Constitution states: “Everyone has the right to administrative action that is lawful, reasonable and
procedurally fair.” It also states: “Everyone has the right to have any dispute that can be resolved by the application of law decided in a fair public hearing before a court …”. Taking unreasonably long to hand down judgments is a breach of these rights. Illustration: Lisa Nelson | GroundUp
