Court battle over rates - 7 October
A senior Durban advocate has taken on the eThekwini Municipality in what could be a precedent-setting court challenge of its "pay now, fight later" policy regarding rates payments. Advocate Julian King, SC, says forcing people to pay rates based on valuations which they cannot appeal against because no appeal board has been set up, is unfair, unconstitutional and unlawful. He has obtained an interim interdict, stopping council officials from disconnecting his electricity and water until the outcome of his dispute with the city over his rates bill. - IOL website
