'I don’t know how they are going to rewrite or rehash the whole process to introduce a national administrative system that usurps the powers of local government.' Moneyweb Aarto
The Organisation Against Tax Abuse believes the implementation of a single national system for the administration for road traffic offences in South Africa is “dead in the water”. This follows Judge Annali Basson on Thursday issuing an order in the Pretoria High Court declaring both the Aarto Act and the Aarto Amendment Act unconstitutional and invalid. The order was issued in a judgment to an application lodged by Outa to declare both acts unconstitutional and invalid.
However, Judge Basson said the test for severability in constitutional matters is well established and she is not persuaded that the offending provisions of the Aarto Act and the Aarto Amendment Act can be severed.
