The High Court in Johannesburg dealt with an application to make a settlement an order of court in a Road Accident Fund matter. The judge removed the matter from the roll after raising concerns about the CaseLines bundle, the scope of the settlement, and whether loss of earnings had been settled. The reasons also discuss the need for clarity when general damages and a section 17(4)(a) undertaking are sought separately from other claims.
This appears to concern court practice on CaseLines filing and the wording of settlement orders in Road Accident Fund matters.
