The judgment concerns an application by the South African Legal Practice Council to strike Banathi Olwethu Masoka from the roll of practising legal practitioners. It records findings about alleged misconduct linked to the issuing of several alleged fraudulent or invalid court orders and tax bills while he was employed as a Registrar, and states that he was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing. The court made an order striking his name from the roll and ordering the handover of his certificate of enrolment.
It may be relevant to legal practitioners and disciplinary bodies dealing with LPC strike off proceedings and alleged misconduct by court officials.
