Some real AI examples
Question: I entered into a contract with X to provide accounting services to me each month. For the last 4 months X has failed to provide most of these services to me. What options do I have?
Answer:
Under South African law, you have a few options available to you. Firstly, you could seek to terminate the contract and sue for damages for breach of contract. In this case, you would need to prove that X failed to provide the services as agreed upon in the contract. Secondly, you could seek a court order for specific performance, which would require X to provide the services that were agreed upon.
Question: My personal information has been taken by a company without my consent, and is using it. What can I do?
Answer:
Under South African law, you have the right to seek compensation for any damage caused by the misuse of your personal information. You may also be able to take legal action against the company for violating your privacy rights.
The first step is to contact the company directly and ask them to stop using your personal information. If they refuse, you can make a formal complaint to the Information Regulator. The Information Regulator is responsible for ensuring that personal information is used in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI). The Information Regulator can investigate the company’s actions and take steps to ensure that your rights are respected.
If the company continues to misuse your personal information, you may wish to consider taking legal action. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to take action under the POPI Act, or you may be able to pursue a claim for breach of privacy. You should seek legal advice to determine the best course of action for your particular situation.

Our Companies Act AI Attorney is trained to answers questions specific to the Companies Act, 2008.
Some real AI examples
Question: How do I appoint a director to my company?
Answer:
In order to appoint a director to your company, you must first ensure that the individual meets the requirements set out in section 66 of the Companies Act 2008. This section states that a director must be a natural person and of full legal capacity.
Once you have identified an individual who meets these criteria, you must then ensure that the individual is willing to accept the position. The individual must sign a written consent to act as a director and provide a copy of their identity document.
The company must then pass a resolution at a board meeting to appoint the individual as a director. The resolution must be recorded in the company‘s minutes and the individual‘s name must be entered into the company‘s register of directors.
You must then complete and submit Form CoR15.1A to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). This form must include the individual‘s name, identity number, and contact details.
Once the CIPC has approved the appointment, the individual can begin acting as a director.
Question: A fellow director is stealing funds from the company. What can I do?
Answer:
If you have evidence that a fellow director is stealing funds from the company, you should immediately report the matter to the company‘s auditors and/or the South African Police Service. The Companies Act 2008 provides for the removal of a director who is guilty of misconduct or mismanagement of the company‘s affairs. The company‘s shareholders may also take action against the director by bringing a civil action against them for damages or other relief. The company‘s board of directors should also consider taking disciplinary action against the director, including suspension or dismissal. In addition, the company should take steps to protect its assets, such as freezing the director‘s bank accounts and other assets.

Our POPI Act AI Attorney is trained to answers questions specific to the Labour Relations Act 1995 and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 1997.
Some real AI examples
Question: How may I dismiss an employee?
Answer:
In South Africa, an employer may dismiss an employee for a fair reason and after following a fair procedure. The Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 sets out the procedure for dismissal.
The employer must provide the employee with a written notice of the intention to dismiss, and the reasons for the dismissal. The employee must be given an opportunity to respond to the notice.
The employer must then consider the employee’s response and decide whether to proceed with the dismissal. If the employer decides to proceed with the dismissal, the employee must be given a written notice of dismissal.
The employer must also ensure that the dismissal is for a fair reason and that the procedure followed was fair. The employer must also consider any mitigating factors, such as the employee’s length of service, the employee’s performance record and the availability of alternative employment.
If the employee is dismissed for a reason other than misconduct, the employer must pay the employee severance pay. The amount of severance pay is determined by the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997.
In summary, an employer may dismiss an employee for a fair reason and after following a fair procedure. The employer must provide the employee with written notice of the intention to dismiss, and the reasons for the dismissal. The employer must also consider the employee’s response and any mitigating factors before proceeding with the dismissal. If the employee is dismissed for a reason other than misconduct, the employer must pay the employee severance pay.
Question: What is the process to have a disciplinary hearing conducted for an employee?
Answer:
The process to have a disciplinary hearing conducted for an employee is as follows:
1. The employer must provide the employee with written notice of the alleged misconduct and the date, time and place of the disciplinary hearing.
2. The employee must be given a reasonable opportunity to prepare for the hearing.
3. The employer must provide the employee with a copy of any evidence that will be used against them at the hearing.
4. The employer must provide the employee with a reasonable opportunity to respond to the allegations and to present evidence in their defence.
5. The employer must allow the employee to be accompanied by a representative of their choice at the hearing.
6. The employer must provide the employee with a written decision following the hearing.
7. The employer must provide the employee with the right to appeal the decision.
It is important to note that the employer must ensure that the disciplinary hearing is conducted in a fair and reasonable manner. The employer must also ensure that the employee is given the opportunity to present their case and to respond to any allegations made against them.

Some real AI examples
Clause: The eiusdem generis rule is not to be applied in the interpretation of such specific examples or general words
Explanation:
The eiusdem generis rule is a legal principle that states that when a list of specific examples is followed by general words, the general words should be interpreted to include only things of the same kind as the specific examples.
For example, if a contract states that “no pets are allowed, including cats, dogs, and other animals,” the eiusdem generis rule would mean that the general words “other animals” would be interpreted to include only animals similar to cats and dogs, such as rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs.
In this contract, the eiusdem generis rule is not to be applied, which means that the general words should not be interpreted to include only things of the same kind as the specific examples. This means that if the contract states that “no pets are allowed, including cats, dogs, and other animals,” the general words “other animals” could include any type of animal, not just animals similar to cats and dogs.
Clause: The provisions of this Agreement shall be subject to, and will take effect and become operative only upon, the fulfilment or waiver of the following Suspensive Conditions by the Long Stop Date:
Explanation:
This clause of the contract is saying that certain conditions must be met before the contract can become effective. The “Long Stop Date“ is the date by which all the conditions must be met. For example, if the contract is for the sale of a house, the suspensive conditions might include the buyer obtaining a loan from the bank and the seller obtaining a clearance certificate from the local municipality. The Long Stop Date is the date by which the buyer must have obtained the loan and the seller must have obtained the clearance certificate. If either of these conditions are not met by the Long Stop Date, the contract will not become effective.
